"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 particularly significant within his oeuvre. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 46 cm by 38 cm. It is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

In this self-portrait, Chardin presents himself with a pair of spectacles, a detail that not only adds a personal touch but also serves as a symbol of the artist's age and wisdom. The spectacles may also allude to the Enlightenment, a period that emphasized reason and knowledge, and during which Chardin lived and worked. The artist's gaze is directed outward, engaging the viewer with a sense of introspection and quiet dignity.

The composition of "Self-Portrait with Spectacles" is marked by a subdued palette and the soft, diffused lighting that is characteristic of Chardin's style. The brushwork is delicate and precise, capturing the textures of the artist's skin, his white hair, and the fabric of his clothing. The background is muted, allowing the focus to remain on the figure of the artist.

Chardin's self-portrait is a testament to his skill in rendering the human figure with the same attentiveness and sensitivity that he applied to his still-life compositions. It offers a rare glimpse into the artist's self-perception and stands as an important document of his life and artistic identity. The painting is not only a significant piece within the canon of 18th-century French art but also a valuable contribution to the genre of self-portraiture in the broader history of art.
