Painting Description
"Self-Portrait at 13" is a drawing by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated 1484. This early work, executed in silverpoint on prepared paper, is notable for its historical significance as one of the earliest known self-portraits by a major European artist. Dürer, who was born in Nuremberg in 1471, was only thirteen years old when he created this piece, which reflects both his precocious talent and the artistic traditions of the period.
The portrait is characterized by its detailed rendering and the young artist's use of delicate lines to capture his own likeness. The inscription on the drawing, written in old German script, translates to "This I have drawn from myself from the looking-glass, in the year 1484, when I was still a child." This statement not only serves as a testament to the authenticity of the self-portrait but also provides insight into Dürer's self-awareness and his early engagement with self-representation.
Although the drawing is not as well-known as Dürer's later self-portraits, which showcase his maturation as an artist and his mastery of different mediums, "Self-Portrait at 13" remains an important work in the study of the artist's development and the broader context of self-portraiture in art history. It is currently held in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it is preserved as part of the institution's extensive collection of works on paper.
