"Self-Portrait" is an oil painting by German painter Adam Elsheimer. Estimated to be produced around 1600, it serves as a key testament to Elsheimer's work and life, despite his short career that was neatly encapsulated in the early Baroque period. The artwork is considered among the few of Elsheimer's pieces which directly portray the artist himself.

Executed on copper, a medium favored by Elsheimer, the "Self-Portrait" measures around 30cm x 22cm, a reflection of Elsheimer’s preference for small, detailed compositions. It is held in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy, where it continues to enthrall viewers with keen insights into the artist's life and his unique contribution to the world of art.

Depicting the artist in his early thirties, the "Self-Portrait" communicates Elsheimer's realistic approach to art, underlined by intricate details and soft, delicate tones. Elsheimer's creations, including the "Self-Portrait," distinguish themselves through their unprecedented use of chiaroscuro and nocturnal scenes, embodying the early tendency to break away from the well-established trends of the Renaissance and adopt the nascent Baroque's dynamic trends.

The "Self-Portrait" serves more than just a detailed portrayal of Elsheimer's physical appearance. It presents a glimpse into the artist's personality and attitudes, evident in the thoughtful facial expression and the inquiring gaze which hint at his introspective nature. The setting for the artwork remains neutral, deliberately pushing the spectators to focus on Elsheimer's face, ensuring an intimate interaction with the viewer.

Since the time of its creation, the "Self-Portrait" by Adam Elsheimer has occupied a central place in academic discourse on self-portrayal in art history due to its introspective nature, encouraging a wider understanding of artists’ inner worlds and their effort to communicate individuality. Today, this painting remains an invaluable part of our collective cultural heritage and a precious testament to Elsheimer’s genius.
