"Still-Life with Self-Portrait" is a 17th-century painting by the Flemish artist Cornelis Norbertus Gijsbrechts, known for his trompe-l'œil still-life works. Created in 1663, this painting is a notable example of Gijsbrechts' mastery in illusionistic painting, a genre that plays with the viewers' perception and blurs the lines between reality and artifice.

The painting depicts a framed canvas on an easel, showing what appears to be the back of a stretched canvas with the artist's self-portrait peeking from the side. The self-portrait is presented as if it is on the reverse of the canvas, with Gijsbrechts looking out at the viewer. Various artist's tools and materials are realistically rendered and scattered around the easel, further adding to the illusion that the viewer is looking at the actual objects rather than a painted representation.

Gijsbrechts' work is a complex interplay of reality and illusion, as it invites the audience to question the nature of art and perception. The painting can be seen as a commentary on the act of painting itself and the artist's role in manipulating visual reality. "Still-Life with Self-Portrait" is a quintessential example of Gijsbrechts' oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art and its fascination with optical illusions and the boundaries of representation.

The painting is significant in the study of European still-life painting, particularly within the context of Northern Baroque art. It showcases the technical skill and intellectual wit of Gijsbrechts, whose works often engaged with the viewer in a playful and thought-provoking manner. "Still-Life with Self-Portrait" remains an important piece for art historians and enthusiasts interested in the evolution of still-life painting and the exploration of trompe-l'œil as a genre.
