"Self-Portrait Holding a Portrait of Her Sister" is a notable work by the Venetian Rococo artist Rosalba Carriera (1673–1757), renowned for her pastel portraiture and credited with contributing to the medium's popularity in 18th-century Europe. This self-portrait, which dates from the early 18th century, is a testament to Carriera's skill in capturing the soft, delicate features that became her trademark and showcases her ability to convey both her own character and that of her sibling within a single composition.

In this intimate artwork, Carriera presents herself holding a miniature portrait of her sister, Giovanna. The choice to include her sister's likeness within her own self-portrait is a reflection of the close relationship they shared, with Giovanna often assisting Rosalba in her studio. The self-portrait not only highlights Carriera's technical prowess but also serves as a personal narrative, emphasizing familial bonds and the role of women in the arts during the Rococo period.

The painting is executed with the finesse and subtlety characteristic of Carriera's work, employing her mastery of pastel to render the textures and tones of skin and fabric with a lifelike quality. The lightness of touch and the gentle gradation of color exemplify the Rococo aesthetic and Carriera's own artistic sensibilities.

"Self-Portrait Holding a Portrait of Her Sister" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value. It provides insight into the artist's life, the importance of female relationships in her career, and the broader context of women's contributions to art during a period when female artists were often marginalized. The work is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important piece within Carriera's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of the role of women in the arts and the development of pastel portraiture in the 18th century.
