Selbstporträt Aleix Clapés is a 1915 unspecified by Aleix Clapés, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
The painting depicts a man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a white shirt with a high collar. He is shown from the chest up, with his head turned slightly to the right. The background is dark, which contrasts with the lighter tones of the man's clothing. A quiet detail in the painting is the subtle play of light on the man's face and clothing, which adds depth and texture to the image. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of volume and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject.
