"Still-Life with Self-Portrait" (1663) is a notable work by the Flemish painter Cornelis Norbertus Gijsbrechts, who specialized in trompe-l'œil, a style of painting that creates the optical illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. This particular painting is an intriguing example of Gijsbrechts' mastery in blending still-life elements with portraiture, all while engaging in a visual dialogue about illusion and reality.

The painting depicts a framed canvas resting on an easel, displaying a variety of objects typically found in a 17th-century artist's studio. These objects are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Gijsbrechts' skill in capturing textures and materials. The twist in this composition is the inclusion of a self-portrait of the artist, peering out from behind what appears to be a torn piece of the painting's canvas. This clever inclusion of the artist's image not only serves as a signature but also as a commentary on the act of painting itself and the artist's role in manipulating the viewer's perception.

"Still-Life with Self-Portrait" is a prime example of Gijsbrechts' work during his time at the court of Frederick III of Denmark, where he was appointed as court painter. The painting is a testament to the artist's ingenuity and his contributions to the Northern European still-life genre, particularly in the area of trompe-l'œil. Gijsbrechts' work often played with the boundaries between art and reality, inviting viewers to question their assumptions about what they see.

This painting is not only a technical achievement in its realistic depiction of inanimate objects and the self-portrait but also an intellectual exercise that challenges the viewer's perception. It stands as a significant piece within the oeuvre of Cornelis Gijsbrechts and the broader context of Baroque art, reflecting the period's fascination with visual trickery and the exploration of the relationship between art and illusion.
