Self Portrait" is a seminal work by Hans Burgkmair the Elder, a German painter and printmaker during the early sixteenth century. Born in Augsburg around 1473, Burgkmair was a contemporary of Albrecht Dürer and had a significant role in making Augsburg a center for German Renaissance art.

The "Self Portrait", created around 1500, is admired as an insightful representation of the artist's introspection, rendered in meticulous detail. The work boasts of Burgkmair's strong fundamental skills in portraiture, presenting an evocative image of the artist in a contemplative pose. This oil-on-wood painting measures 36.5 x 27.6 centimeters and is held at the National Gallery, London.

In this self-portrait, Burgkmair is seen looking directly at the viewer. His apparel and accessories, depicted with detailed precision, depict the social status of the artist during his time. The inscription on the parchment scroll entwined around his dagger helps scholars ascertain the age of the artist during the creation of this artwork.

Burgkmair's self-portrait holds notable significance in studying the progression of self-portraiture in European art history, offering insightful reflection into the evolving status of artists in society during the Renaissance era. Not only does it reflect the artist's own ability and style, but it also illustrates the grounded realism and intensity characteristic of German Renaissance art.
