"Self Portrait engraved by Edward Scriven (1775-1841) after Bartolomé Esteban Murillo" is an engraving by the notable British engraver Edward Scriven, who was a prominent figure in the art of stipple and line engraving during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The engraving is based on a self-portrait by the Spanish Baroque painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, one of the most famous artists of the Spanish Golden Age.

Murillo's original self-portrait, which dates from the late 17th century, depicts the artist at the easel, brush in hand, as he turns his gaze towards the viewer. This work is celebrated for its introspective quality and the skillful depiction of the artist's features, which convey a sense of both humility and confidence. Murillo's self-portrait is not only a reflection of his own image but also an embodiment of his artistic identity during a period when the role of the artist was evolving and gaining recognition.

Edward Scriven's engraved interpretation of Murillo's self-portrait is a testament to the cross-cultural appreciation and dissemination of art during the period. Scriven, who was an engraver to King George III and later to Queen Victoria, was known for his mastery in translating paintings into engravings, which allowed for the wider circulation of artworks among those who could not access the original paintings. His work on Murillo's self-portrait would have involved a careful study of the original painting, capturing its essence and detail in the engraved medium.

The engraving serves as a historical bridge between the Spanish Baroque period and the British art scene of the 19th century, reflecting the continued influence of Murillo's work beyond his lifetime and national borders. It also highlights the role of engravers like Scriven in preserving and sharing the visual culture of the past with new audiences. The "Self Portrait engraved by Edward Scriven after Bartolomé Esteban Murillo" remains an important piece within the oeuvre of both artists, representing a confluence of their respective artistic legacies.
