"Self-Portrait with Doctor Arrieta" is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, commonly known as Francisco de Goya. Completed in 1820, the work is a poignant depiction of the artist himself being cared for by his physician, Dr. Eugenio García Arrieta, during a severe illness that struck Goya in the winter of 1819. The painting stands as a testament to the friendship and gratitude Goya felt towards his doctor, who was credited with saving the artist's life.

Measuring 45 3/4 x 30 5/16 inches (116 x 77 cm), the painting is a part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where it is displayed prominently. The composition is intimate and personal, showing Goya reclining in his sickbed, appearing weak and vulnerable, while Dr. Arrieta supports him and offers a glass of medicine. The figures are rendered with empathy and a sense of immediacy that reflects the dire circumstances under which they were painted.

The background of the painting is shrouded in darkness, with shadowy figures that may represent the specter of death or perhaps the artist's fears and anxieties. The use of chiaroscuro enhances the dramatic effect and focuses the viewer's attention on the interaction between the patient and the doctor. The inscription at the bottom of the canvas, written by Goya himself, acknowledges the dedication of Dr. Arrieta and expresses the artist's deep appreciation for his care: "Goya in gratitude to his friend Arrieta: for the skill and great care with which he saved his life during his acute and dangerous illness, suffered at the end of the year 1819, at the age of 73. He painted it in 1820."

"Self-Portrait with Doctor Arrieta" is often regarded as one of Goya's most personal and emotionally charged works. It is a significant piece within the artist's late period, which is characterized by a more introspective approach and a departure from his earlier themes. The painting is not only a powerful self-portrait but also a universal representation of human vulnerability, compassion, and the bond between patient and healer.
