"Portrait de l'Artiste" (Portrait of the Artist) is a painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1885. This work is one of several self-portraits Gauguin painted throughout his career, reflecting his evolving artistic style and personal identity. The painting is executed in oil on canvas, measuring 45.7 by 38.1 centimeters, and is part of a private collection.

In "Portrait de l'Artiste," Gauguin depicts himself in a three-quarter view against a richly colored background. The artist's use of bold, non-naturalistic colors and a strong outline reflects the influence of the cloisonnism style, which Gauguin and his contemporaries, such as Émile Bernard, were developing during this period. This style is characterized by flat areas of color bordered by dark outlines, reminiscent of the medieval enameling technique of cloisonné, and was a significant step away from the naturalism of Impressionism towards the symbolism and abstraction that would define Gauguin's later work.

The self-portrait reveals Gauguin's preoccupation with his own psychological state and his role as an artist. His expression is introspective and somber, possibly alluding to the personal and financial difficulties he faced at the time. The portrait also serves as a testament to Gauguin's self-awareness and his desire to establish a distinct artistic identity.

"Portrait de l'Artiste" is an important work in Gauguin's oeuvre, as it captures a transitional moment in his artistic journey. It is a reflection of his experimentation with new techniques and his departure from the Impressionist movement, which would ultimately lead him to the synthetist style he is most renowned for. The painting is frequently studied for its historical significance and its insight into Gauguin's evolving artistic philosophy and personal narrative.
