"Self Portrait at 22 I" is a notable early work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1493. This self-portrait is one of the earliest known self-portraits in Western art and provides a fascinating glimpse into the artist's early career and self-perception. Painted when Dürer was just 22 years old, the work is executed in oil on vellum, which was later affixed to a wood panel. The portrait is relatively small, measuring approximately 56.5 cm by 44.5 cm.

In this self-portrait, Dürer presents himself in a three-quarter view, gazing directly at the viewer with a composed and confident expression. He is dressed in a fashionable and elaborate costume of the time, which includes a fur-trimmed cloak and a cap adorned with a feather. The attention to detail in the rendering of his clothing and the texture of the fur showcases Dürer's meticulous technique and his interest in capturing the materiality of objects.

The background of the painting is a simple, dark, and neutral tone, which serves to highlight the figure of Dürer and draw attention to his face and attire. The artist's youthful features are rendered with great precision, emphasizing his curly hair, smooth skin, and the intensity of his gaze. This self-portrait not only demonstrates Dürer's technical skill but also his emerging sense of self-awareness and individuality, which would become more pronounced in his later works.

"Self Portrait at 22 I" is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical context. It was created during a period when the concept of the artist as an individual with a unique identity was beginning to take shape. Dürer's decision to depict himself in such a detailed and personal manner reflects the growing importance of self-portraiture in the Renaissance and the evolving role of the artist in society.

Today, "Self Portrait at 22 I" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its technical excellence and its insight into the early development of one of the Renaissance's most influential artists.
