"Self-Portrait I" is an autobiographical artwork created by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1484, at the age of just 13. This work, executed in silverpoint on white-coated paper, stands out as one of Dürer's earliest known creations. It establishes the delicate yet detailed drawing style that would feature prominently in his subsequent pieces.

Dürer's self-expressed somber countenance and introspective gaze in this drawing offer a glimpse into his budding artistic temperament. The self-portrait is marked by prominent facial features, drawn with a degree of detail unusual for his age. These details suggest a striking self-awareness, as well as a commitment to the accurate rendering of physicality, factors that significantly shaped his later works.

Notably, "Self-Portrait I" is a deviation from typical self-portraits of the 15th century, primarily because of Dürer's unconventional decision to draw himself head-on rather than in profile view, and his equally bold use of the non-dominant left hand as the subject. This daring approach foreshadowed his career as a ground-breaking and influential figure in the world of European art.

"Self-Portrait I" is now housed in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria. Over centuries, it remains a significant piece in the narrative of Dürer's artistic development and continues to be widely studied in the field of Renaissance art.
