"Self-Portrait Hesitating Between the Arts of Music and Painting" is a notable work by Swiss neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffman, created in 1791. This allegorical self-portrait reflects the artist's personal and professional dilemma between her two passions: music and painting. In the painting, Kauffman is depicted in a moment of contemplation, flanked by personifications of Music and Painting, each vying for her favor. Music is represented by a female figure with a lyre, while Painting is shown holding a palette and brushes, symbolizing the tools of the artist's trade.

The painting is significant not only for its autobiographical content but also for its exploration of the role of women in the arts during the 18th century. Kauffman was one of the few female members of the Royal Academy of Arts in London and enjoyed a successful career at a time when the art world was predominantly male-dominated. Her self-portrait is a testament to her skills as an artist and her intellectual engagement with the arts, showcasing her ability to navigate and excel in multiple disciplines.

The work is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by its classical composition and the serene, yet expressive, faces of the figures. It is a prime example of Kauffman's style, which often included classical themes and a soft, harmonious color palette. "Self-Portrait Hesitating Between the Arts of Music and Painting" is not only a personal statement from Kauffman but also a broader commentary on the nature of artistic identity and the choices faced by creative individuals. The painting remains an important piece in the study of 18th-century art and the history of women artists.
