"Self-Portrait as Winter" is a pastel painting created in 1731 by the Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera, one of the most prominent and pioneering female artists of the 18th century. Known for her mastery of the pastel medium and her role in popularizing it as a serious art form, Carriera's self-portrait is a testament to her skill and her place in the Rococo movement. In this work, Carriera presents herself allegorically as the personification of Winter, which is part of a series of the four seasons, a common theme in European art.

The portrait is characterized by its soft, delicate tones and the gentle rendering of the artist's features, which is typical of Carriera's style. She is depicted with a fur-trimmed garment and a translucent veil, elements that evoke the chill and fashion of the winter season. The choice to represent herself as Winter may reflect a personal identification with the season or a commentary on her own stage in life, as she was around 50 years old at the time of the painting's completion.

"Self-Portrait as Winter" is not only a work of self-representation but also an embodiment of the Rococo aesthetic, with its emphasis on lightness, grace, and elegance. Carriera's contribution to the arts is further underscored by her role as a female artist in a predominantly male-dominated field, making her self-portraits significant both for their artistic merit and for their cultural and historical context.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its intimate portrayal of the artist. It remains an important work in the study of Rosalba Carriera's oeuvre and provides insight into the broader scope of female artists' self-portraiture during the 18th century. "Self-Portrait as Winter" continues to be celebrated for its artistry and as a symbol of Carriera's enduring legacy in the history of art.
