"Self-Portrait" is an autobiographical painting by the leading Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens. The date its creation is not accurately recorded, but it's speculated it was completed around 1623, in the latter part of Rubens' lengthy career. The portrait is currently housed in the Rubenshuis museum in Antwerp, Belgium.

The painting exemplifies the masterful blending of the Northern European and Italian styles, reflecting Rubens' international training and career. Rubens depicts himself in his middle age, characterized by a candid realism and a keen psychological insight. His expression in the portrait reveals an air of wise, dignified serenity, highlighting his stature and confidence as a successful painter during his time. Notably, Rubens is not outfitted in the attire of a painter, but rather presents himself as a gentleman of high standing, reflecting his social status and his acceptance within the upper echelons of society.

The use of chiaroscuro, a technique using light and shadow to give depth and volume, is prominent in the artwork, lending it a sense of realism and three-dimensionality. Furthermore, Rubens' painterly skills shine through the detailed rendering of his facial structures and the elaborate fabric textures of his clothing.

The composition as a whole is finely balanced, employing the artist's skillful understanding of color balance, form, and perspective. The "Self-Portrait" by Peter Paul Rubens hence provides not only an insight into the artist's perception of his own identity but also a testament to his artistic prowess.
