"Self Portrait 1793" is a notable work by French artist Joseph Ducreux (1735–1802), who was a portrait painter, pastelist, miniaturist, and engraver, known for his unorthodox and expressive portraits of the French aristocracy, including King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Ducreux's self-portrait, created in the year 1793, is a striking example of his innovative approach to portraiture that often incorporated elements of expression and gesture unusual for the time.

The painting is characterized by Ducreux's direct gaze towards the viewer, a feature that engages the audience and reflects the artist's interest in physiognomy—the study of the relationship between a person's outer appearance and inner character. The self-portrait showcases Ducreux's skill in capturing his own likeness with a high degree of realism, while also conveying a sense of his personality and mood. The work is rendered with meticulous attention to the textures of skin and fabric, demonstrating Ducreux's mastery of oil painting techniques.

Created during a tumultuous period in French history, the self-portrait not only serves as a personal testament of the artist but also provides insight into the broader cultural and social context of the time. The year 1793 was marked by the radical phase of the French Revolution, the Reign of Terror, and the execution of Louis XVI, events that would have had a profound impact on Ducreux, who had been closely associated with the French monarchy.

The "Self Portrait 1793" by Joseph Ducreux is held in high regard for its art historical significance, as it exemplifies the transition from the grandeur of the Ancien Régime to the more introspective and personal artistic expressions that emerged in the face of revolutionary change. The portrait remains an important work for the study of French art of the late 18th century and continues to be appreciated for its unique contribution to the genre of self-portraiture.
