"Self Portrait at the Mirror" is a notable work by the Italian Mannerist painter Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino, created circa 1524. This self-portrait is a testament to the artist's skill and innovative approach to portraiture, which was characteristic of the Mannerist period. The painting is executed in oil on panel and measures approximately 24.8 by 14.5 centimeters, showcasing the artist's delicate and precise technique.

In this self-portrait, Parmigianino presents himself in a convex mirror, which distorts his reflection and adds a complex, introspective quality to the work. The use of the mirror is significant as it not only reflects the artist's physical appearance but also serves as a metaphor for the introspective nature of self-examination. The convexity of the mirror stretches and warps his features, creating an elongated hand and a subtly altered face, which are emblematic of the Mannerist style's penchant for elegance and artificiality over naturalistic representation.

Parmigianino's choice to depict himself in this manner is indicative of his fascination with optical effects and the exploration of new perspectives in art. The painting is often interpreted as a commentary on the nature of perception and the role of the artist as both the creator and the observer. The self-portrait is also notable for its autobiographical element, as it provides insight into the artist's self-perception and his place within the broader context of Renaissance art.

The work is currently held in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, and remains an important piece in the study of 16th-century Italian art, offering a unique glimpse into the innovative spirit of the Mannerist movement and Parmigianino's own artistic journey.
