"Portrait of an Officer (Self-portrait)" is a notable painting by the Dutch artist Ferdinand Bol, a prominent figure of the Dutch Golden Age. Bol, born in 1616 in Dordrecht, was a pupil of the renowned Rembrandt van Rijn, and his works often reflect the influence of his master, particularly in the use of chiaroscuro and the detailed rendering of textures and fabrics.

This self-portrait, created around 1650, depicts Bol in the guise of a military officer, a common practice among artists of the time to convey a sense of authority, valor, and social standing. The painting is a striking example of Bol's skill in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the psychological depth and character of his subjects. In this work, Bol presents himself with a confident and composed demeanor, dressed in a lavish officer's uniform, complete with a plumed hat and a sash, which were symbols of rank and honor.

The composition of the portrait is meticulously balanced, with Bol's figure dominating the canvas, yet harmoniously integrated into the background. The use of light and shadow is masterful, highlighting the textures of the fabrics and the subtle details of Bol's face, which exudes a calm and introspective expression. The background is kept relatively simple, ensuring that the viewer's focus remains on the subject.

"Portrait of an Officer (Self-portrait)" is not only a testament to Bol's technical prowess but also provides insight into the self-perception and societal aspirations of artists in the 17th century. The painting is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance. Bol's work remains an important part of the Dutch artistic heritage, and this self-portrait is a prime example of his contribution to the art of portraiture.
