"Autoportrait" (Self-Portrait) by Jacques-Louis David is a significant work by the renowned French painter, known for his leadership in the Neoclassical movement and for his influential role in the art of the French Revolution. Painted in 1794, during a tumultuous period in French history, this self-portrait is a testament to David's introspection and his mastery of the neoclassical style.

The painting, which measures 64 cm by 53 cm, is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. It depicts the artist at the age of 46, presenting himself with a stern expression and a direct gaze that engages the viewer. This self-portrait is particularly notable as it was created while David was imprisoned after the fall of Maximilien Robespierre, with whom he was closely associated. The portrait is thus imbued with a sense of personal crisis and reflection on his political and artistic ideals.

In "Autoportrait," David employs a restrained palette and sharp, precise lines that are characteristic of the Neoclassical movement, which sought to emulate the virtues of classical art. His use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, adds to the dramatic intensity of the work. The portrait is also a study in the psychology of the artist, revealing his resilience and the steadfastness of his convictions amidst the political upheaval of his time.

David's self-portrait is not only a personal exploration but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the artist's character and the broader cultural and political environment of the late 18th century. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Jacques-Louis David and a significant piece in the history of portraiture.
