"Self Portrait" by William Etty is a significant work by one of the 19th century's most prominent English painters, known for his vivid use of color and his focus on the nude figure. Born in York in 1787, Etty rose to prominence in the British art scene for his historical and mythological paintings, but he also produced a number of self-portraits throughout his career, which offer a window into his personal and artistic development. This particular self-portrait, executed with the meticulous attention to detail and rich coloration characteristic of Etty's style, serves not only as a reflection of the artist's physical appearance but also as an intimate glimpse into his psychological state and artistic identity at the time of its creation.

While the exact date of this self-portrait is not definitively known, it is believed to have been painted in the mid-19th century, a period during which Etty was grappling with the critical reception of his work and his place within the British art establishment. The portrait is notable for its direct gaze, which engages the viewer and conveys a sense of the artist's confidence and introspection. Etty's mastery in rendering the textures of skin and fabric, as well as his use of lighting to highlight the contours of his face, exemplifies his skill in portraiture and his broader artistic concerns with realism and the human form.

The self-portrait is housed in a collection that celebrates Etty's contribution to British art, offering scholars and the public alike a deeper understanding of his oeuvre and the complexities of his legacy. As a document of self-representation, it provides critical insight into Etty's self-perception and his enduring commitment to exploring the nuances of human beauty and emotion through his art.
