Myself Portrait Landscape (French: Moi-même, paysage-portrait) is a self-portrait by the French Post-Impressionist artist Henri Julien Rousseau, commonly known as Le Douanier Rousseau, due to his early career as a toll and tax collector. Painted in 1890, this artwork is one of the few self-portraits by Rousseau and showcases his unique style, which was characterized by a naive and primitive manner that diverged from the academic conventions of the time.

In "Myself Portrait Landscape," Rousseau presents himself in a dual capacity, both as the subject of the portrait and as an integral part of the landscape, which reflects his personal vision of the world and his place within it. The painting is notable for its flatness and the lack of perspective, a hallmark of Rousseau's style, which gives the work an almost dreamlike quality. The artist's self-representation is marked by a direct and unembellished gaze, suggesting a sense of honesty and introspection.

The background of the painting is typical of Rousseau's landscapes, featuring lush, imaginary jungles and exotic plants that he famously claimed to have seen during his time in Mexico, although there is no evidence that he ever left France. These fantastical elements became a recurring theme in his later works, contributing to his reputation as a self-taught genius who influenced many avant-garde artists of the early 20th century.

"Myself Portrait Landscape" is considered an important work in Rousseau's oeuvre, as it encapsulates the artist's self-perception and artistic approach. The painting is held in high regard for its pioneering role in the development of modern art, particularly for its influence on the Surrealist movement, which celebrated the liberation of the imagination and the unconventional.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's permanent collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its unique contribution to the history of art. The work is frequently exhibited and has been included in various retrospectives of Rousseau's work, allowing audiences to appreciate the distinctive qualities that make Rousseau a seminal figure in the narrative of modern art.
