"Autoritratto Giovanile - Scugnizzo" is a self-portrait by the Italian painter Antonio Mancini (1852–1930), one of the most prominent Italian artists of the 19th century. Known for his bold and expressive brushwork, Mancini was associated with the School of Resina and later became a key figure in the Italian verismo (realism) movement. The term "Scugnizzo" refers to a street urchin or Neapolitan street child, a subject that Mancini, with his interest in the lives of the underprivileged, often depicted in his works.

This self-portrait, painted during Mancini's youth, showcases the artist's early mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to capture the psychological complexity of his subjects. Mancini's self-representation as a "Scugnizzo" is significant, as it reflects both his humble origins and his identification with the marginalized sectors of society. The painting is characterized by its dramatic lighting and the intense gaze of the artist, which engages the viewer and conveys a sense of immediacy and introspection.

The exact date of creation for "Autoritratto Giovanile - Scugnizzo" is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been painted in the early years of Mancini's career, a period marked by his experimentation with various styles and techniques. The work is an important piece in understanding Mancini's development as an artist and his self-perception at a young age.

As a significant work in the oeuvre of Antonio Mancini, "Autoritratto Giovanile - Scugnizzo" is an exemplar of the artist's raw talent and his commitment to portraying the human condition with honesty and empathy. The painting is not only a reflection of Mancini's artistic identity but also a valuable historical document that provides insight into the socio-cultural context of Italy during the late 19th century.
