"Self-Portrait 1548" by Caterina van Hemessen is a significant work in the history of Western art, notable for being one of the earliest known self-portraits by a female painter. Born in 1528 in Antwerp, Caterina van Hemessen was a Flemish Renaissance artist who trained under her father, Jan Sanders van Hemessen, a prominent Mannerist painter. This self-portrait, painted when she was around 20 years old, is a small oil on panel that measures 32.5 cm by 24.5 cm.

The painting is remarkable not only for its historical context but also for its detailed depiction and the artist's self-assured expression. It shows van Hemessen seated at an easel, brush in hand, engaged in the act of painting. This direct engagement with the viewer was a bold statement of the artist's professional identity and her awareness of her role within the artistic community. The artwork is housed in the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung in Basel, Switzerland, and remains a pivotal piece for studies in gender and art history, illustrating the early presence and skill of women in the European art scene.
