Arent de Gelder's "Selbstporträt" is a self-portrait by the Dutch artist, known for his work during the late Baroque period. De Gelder, a pupil of Rembrandt, is recognized for his use of rich colors and dramatic lighting, which are evident in this painting. The self-portrait is believed to have been created in the late 17th or early 18th century, showcasing de Gelder's mature style.

In "Selbstporträt," de Gelder presents himself with a direct gaze, capturing a sense of introspection and confidence. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique learned from Rembrandt, is prominent, highlighting his facial features and creating a sense of depth. The background is typically dark, a common characteristic in Baroque portraiture, which serves to emphasize the subject's presence.

De Gelder's attire in the painting reflects the fashion of his time, often depicted with a turban or other exotic elements, which was a trend among artists influenced by Rembrandt. This choice of clothing not only adds a sense of mystery but also demonstrates the artist's interest in diverse cultural influences.

The painting is a testament to de Gelder's skill in capturing human emotion and character. His brushwork is loose yet precise, allowing for a lifelike representation that conveys both the physical and psychological aspects of the subject. This self-portrait is an example of de Gelder's ability to blend traditional techniques with his unique artistic vision.

"Selbstporträt" is housed in various collections, with some versions or similar works attributed to de Gelder found in museums and private collections. The painting remains a significant piece for understanding the evolution of Dutch portraiture and the lasting influence of Rembrandt on his students. Through this work, Arent de Gelder continues to be celebrated for his contributions to the art world and his role in the continuation of the Dutch Golden Age painting tradition.
