"Autoportrait dit aux besicles" (Self-Portrait with Spectacles) is a notable work by the French painter Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, created circa 1771. Chardin, renowned for his still-life paintings and domestic scenes, is less known for his self-portraits, making this work a rare insight into the artist's self-perception. The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium in which Chardin excelled, showcasing his mastery of texture and subtle use of light.

In "Autoportrait dit aux besicles," Chardin depicts himself at an advanced age, wearing spectacles—a detail that underscores the artist's honesty in portraying his own human vulnerability and the effects of aging. The spectacles not only serve as a practical tool for his craft but also symbolize the wisdom and experience accrued over his career. The self-portrait is characterized by a subdued palette and the soft, diffused lighting that is emblematic of Chardin's work, conveying a sense of introspection and quiet dignity.

The painting is a testament to Chardin's skill in rendering the human figure with the same empathy and meticulous attention to detail that he applied to his genre scenes and still lifes. It stands as a poignant personal statement from an artist who was deeply respected by his contemporaries and continues to be celebrated for his contribution to 18th-century French painting.

"Autoportrait dit aux besicles" is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the understanding of Chardin's life and oeuvre. As a self-portrait, it offers a direct connection to the artist, inviting viewers to consider the man behind the brush and the reflective nature of his artistic journey. The work remains an important piece within the canon of self-portraiture and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of Chardin's body of work.
