Nu Se Mirant (Self-Admiration) is a painting by Belgian artist Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), a prominent figure in the academic art tradition of the 19th century. Although Gérôme is best known for his Orientalist and historical genre paintings, he also produced a number of works with classical themes, of which Nu Se Mirant is an example.

The painting depicts a young woman admiring herself in a mirror, a subject that has been interpreted as a study of vanity and self-reflection. The work is characterized by Gérôme's meticulous attention to detail and his skillful use of light and shadow, which was typical of the academic art style. The precise date of creation for Nu Se Mirant is not well-documented, but it falls within the period when Gérôme was most active and celebrated as an artist, likely in the latter half of the 19th century.

Nu Se Mirant is not as widely recognized as some of Gérôme's other works, such as "The Snake Charmer" or "Pollice Verso," and as a result, detailed information about the painting's provenance, critical reception, and historical significance is limited. However, it remains an example of Gérôme's artistic output and his exploration of themes related to beauty, classical antiquity, and the human figure.

As with many of Gérôme's paintings, Nu Se Mirant reflects the academic art movement's values of technical precision, draftsmanship, and adherence to classical ideals. These qualities contributed to Gérôme's reputation during his lifetime, although his work, along with that of other academic artists, would later be challenged by the emerging avant-garde movements at the turn of the 20th century.

In the context of Gérôme's oeuvre, Nu Se Mirant may be seen as a representation of the artist's engagement with the female form and the introspective nature of self-examination. The painting's current location, ownership, and exhibition history are not well-documented in publicly available sources, which limits a more comprehensive understanding of its impact and legacy within the art historical canon.
