El Greco, born Domenikos Theotokopoulos (1541–1614), was a prominent painter, sculptor, and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. Renowned for his distinctive style, which combined elements of Byzantine traditions with Western painting techniques, El Greco's work is characterized by elongated figures, dramatic use of color, and expressive emotion. Among his extensive oeuvre, the existence of a definitive self-portrait remains a subject of scholarly debate.

While there are several portraits believed to depict El Greco, none have been universally accepted as an unequivocal self-portrait. One of the most frequently cited candidates is a figure in his painting "The Burial of the Count of Orgaz" (1586–1588), where a man looking directly at the viewer is thought by some art historians to be a self-representation of the artist. This figure stands out due to its direct gaze and prominent placement within the composition, suggesting a personal significance.

Another potential self-portrait is found in "The Disrobing of Christ" (1577–1579), where a man in contemporary attire, distinct from the biblical characters, appears to be observing the scene. This figure's modern clothing and position within the painting have led some scholars to propose that it may be El Greco himself.

Despite these theories, the lack of concrete evidence and definitive documentation means that the identification of any self-portrait by El Greco remains speculative. The artist's unique style and the emotional intensity of his works continue to captivate audiences, ensuring his legacy as a pivotal figure in the history of art.
