"Self-Portrait 1776-77" is a notable work by the Prussian painter Anna Dorothea Therbusch (1721–1782), an accomplished artist of the Enlightenment period. This self-portrait is a testament to Therbusch's skill and her position as one of the few recognized female painters of her time. The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium typical of the era, and measures approximately 77 x 64 cm. It is currently housed in the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, specifically in the collection of the Alte Nationalgalerie.

In this self-portrait, Therbusch presents herself with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, a pose that suggests confidence in her artistic abilities. The work is characterized by a rich palette and detailed brushwork that captures the textures of her attire and the softness of her skin. The artist is depicted in mid-career, at a time when she had achieved recognition in artistic circles, yet the portrait also conveys a sense of introspection and personal resolve.

Therbusch's self-portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context. As a woman artist in the 18th century, Therbusch overcame considerable societal barriers to pursue her profession. Her self-portrait is thus often interpreted as a statement of self-assurance and legitimacy in a male-dominated art world. The painting is an important piece for understanding the role of women artists in the Enlightenment and serves as an inspiration for discussions on gender and art history.

The "Self-Portrait 1776-77" is a valuable primary source for scholars studying the period and contributes to the broader narrative of women's contributions to the arts. Its presence in a major public collection ensures that it remains accessible to the public and continues to influence contemporary audiences with its enduring message of artistic identity and perseverance.
