"Self Portrait 1776" is a notable artwork by Archduchess Maria Christina of Austria (1742–1798), who was not only a political figure but also an accomplished artist of her time. The daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I, Maria Christina, also known as "Mimi," was a Duchess of Teschen through marriage to Prince Albert of Saxony, Duke of Teschen. Her self-portrait, created in 1776, is a testament to her artistic skills and provides a unique glimpse into the cultural and personal aspects of European aristocracy in the 18th century.

The painting is an oil on canvas, typical of the period, and showcases the Archduchess in a three-quarter pose, which was a common format for portraits of the era. The work is characterized by its refined brushwork and attention to detail, reflecting the influence of the Rococo style, which was prevalent during her time. Maria Christina's self-portrait is particularly significant as it represents a woman of high status engaging in the practice of fine arts, a pursuit that was often restricted to men or limited to women of lower social standings.

In the portrait, Maria Christina is depicted with an air of confidence and grace, dressed in attire befitting her noble status. The self-portrait not only serves as a personal expression of the Archduchess's identity but also as a cultural artifact that offers insights into the aesthetics, fashion, and societal roles of the time.

The artwork is part of a larger body of work by Maria Christina, which includes several other paintings and drawings. Her contributions to the arts are considered an important part of her legacy, alongside her political and social influence. "Self Portrait 1776" is preserved in a collection that highlights the artistic achievements of members of the Habsburg family, and it continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts for its historical significance and artistic merit.
