"Self-Portrait with Eyeshade" (1775) is a notable work by the French painter Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin. This painting is one of the few self-portraits created by Chardin, an artist renowned for his still-life paintings and genre scenes that reflect the quiet domestic life of the time. The self-portrait is distinctive for its intimate and unembellished representation of the artist, which was a departure from the grandiosity often found in the portraiture of the period.

In this work, Chardin is depicted wearing an eyeshade, which suggests his dedication to his craft and the meticulous attention to detail for which he was celebrated. The eyeshade serves as a practical tool to reduce the glare from his palette or canvas, allowing for a more accurate perception of colors. This detail underscores Chardin's reputation as a master of color and light, and his commitment to the authenticity of his artistic vision.

The painting is executed with the subtle gradations of tone and nuanced use of light that are characteristic of Chardin's mature style. His expression is contemplative and serene, reflecting a sense of self-awareness and the wisdom of an artist in his later years. The self-portrait is not only a personal reflection but also an embodiment of Chardin's artistic principles, emphasizing naturalism over the artificial conventions of portraiture.

"Self-Portrait with Eyeshade" is held in high regard for its contribution to the understanding of Chardin's oeuvre and the broader context of 18th-century French painting. It provides insight into the artist's self-perception and his approach to the craft of painting, making it a significant piece for both art historians and admirers of Chardin's work. The painting is a testament to Chardin's legacy as one of the foremost painters of the French Enlightenment, celebrated for his quiet yet profound influence on the development of modern art.
