"Selbstporträt der Künstlerin" (Self-Portrait of the Artist) is a notable work by the prominent 18th-century French painter Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun. Born in Paris in 1755, Vigée Le Brun became one of the most sought-after portraitists of her time, particularly known for her portrayals of Marie Antoinette. Her self-portraits are celebrated for their technical proficiency, elegance, and the insight they provide into the artist's self-perception and the role of women artists during the period.

This particular self-portrait is one of several Vigée Le Brun created throughout her prolific career, which spanned over six decades. In her self-portraits, Vigée Le Brun often depicted herself in a confident pose, with the tools of her trade—palette, brushes, and canvas—highlighting her professional identity and success in a male-dominated art world. The artworks serve not only as a testament to her artistic skill but also as a strategic means of self-promotion and an assertion of her place within the artistic community.

"Selbstporträt der Künstlerin" is characterized by the artist's use of soft, diffused lighting and her attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of fabrics and textures. Vigée Le Brun's expression in the painting conveys a sense of calm self-assuredness, and her attire typically reflects the fashion of the time, often with a nod to classical influences, which were popular in the Neoclassical period.

The painting is significant for its historical context as well. Vigée Le Brun's career coincided with a tumultuous period in French history, including the French Revolution and the rise and fall of Napoleon. Her works provide a window into the aesthetics and social dynamics of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

As an important contribution to the oeuvre of one of the few successful female artists of her time, "Selbstporträt der Künstlerin" is not only a work of art but also a historical document that continues to inspire and attract scholarly attention. The painting is housed in a collection that showcases the artist's skill and her unique position as a woman navigating the art world of pre- and post-revolutionary France.
