"Self Portrait as a Young Man" is a painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1855 when Degas was in his early twenties. This work is one of the few self-portraits that Degas, known for his contributions to Impressionism and for his depictions of dancers, produced during his prolific career. The painting showcases the artist's early interest in classical portraiture and reflects the academic style that characterized his initial training.

In the portrait, Degas presents himself with a direct gaze, engaging the viewer with a sense of confidence and introspection. The composition and use of light demonstrate his skill in rendering form and his understanding of chiaroscuro, techniques that he would continue to refine throughout his career. The artwork also hints at the influence of the Old Masters, whom Degas greatly admired, and it serves as an important record of his artistic development and self-perception at a formative stage in his career.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium Degas would later abandon in favor of pastels and other materials. "Self Portrait as a Young Man" is significant not only for its autobiographical content but also for providing insight into the early influences and techniques that shaped Degas's later work. The portrait is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Degas's oeuvre and the evolution of his style.

As with many of Degas's works, this self-portrait has been the subject of art historical research and criticism, offering a window into the artist's self-image and his place within the broader context of 19th-century French painting. It remains a valuable piece for scholars studying the artist's life and the broader Impressionist movement.
