"Self-Portrait" by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo is a significant work in the oeuvre of the Spanish Baroque painter, known for his religious works, genre paintings, and portraits. Created circa 1650-1655, this artwork offers a rare glimpse into the artist's personal depiction of himself, standing as one of the few self-portraits he produced throughout his career. Murillo, born in Seville in late December 1617 and dying there in April 1682, was a leading figure in the Sevillian school of painting and had a profound influence on the development of Baroque art in Spain.

This self-portrait, executed in oil on canvas, showcases Murillo not only as a painter but also as a gentleman of his time, reflecting the social status that successful artists like him could attain in the 17th century. The painting depicts Murillo with a confident gaze directed towards the viewer, dressed in the fashion of the Spanish nobility, which underscores his success and standing within the society of his time. The artist holds a drawing or a letter, suggesting his intellectual pursuits and possibly his connections with the literary circles of Seville.

The self-portrait is noted for its technical skill, the subtle rendering of light and shadow that models the face and clothes, and the psychological depth it conveys of its subject. It is a testament to Murillo's mastery of portraiture, capable of conveying not just the physical likeness but also the character and inner life of the sitter.

After Murillo's death, the painting remained in Spain for centuries, reflecting the national esteem in which his work was held. It has since become part of the collection of the National Gallery, London, where it is valued not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical significance as a self-representation of one of Spain's most beloved artists. The "Self-Portrait" by Murillo not only enriches our understanding of the artist himself but also serves as a valuable document of the cultural and social milieu of 17th-century Spain.
