Self Portrait I by Dante Gabriel Rossetti is a notable early work by the renowned Pre-Raphaelite painter and poet. Created in 1847 when Rossetti was just 19 years old, this self-portrait offers a glimpse into the formative years of an artist who would later become a central figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The portrait is executed in pencil and chalk, showcasing Rossetti's burgeoning skill in capturing the human form and his keen interest in self-exploration through art.

In this self-portrait, Rossetti presents himself with a direct and intense gaze, a characteristic that would become a hallmark of his later works. The young artist's face is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting his strong features and contemplative expression. The use of light and shadow in the drawing not only adds depth to the image but also emphasizes Rossetti's emerging mastery of chiaroscuro, a technique he would continue to develop throughout his career.

The self-portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It was created during a period of intense artistic and intellectual development for Rossetti, who was deeply influenced by the works of the Italian Renaissance and the Romantic poets. This period also saw the formation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848, a movement co-founded by Rossetti that sought to return to the detailed, vibrant, and complex compositions of pre-Renaissance art.

Self Portrait I is housed in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, where it remains an important piece for understanding the early development of Rossetti's artistic vision. The portrait stands as a testament to Rossetti's early promise and his lifelong commitment to exploring the depths of human emotion and expression through his art.
