Selbstbildnis vor blauem Hintergrund is a 1922 oil by Augusto Giacometti, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting is a portrait of a man with a serious expression. He is wearing a white shirt and a dark tie. The background is dark, which makes the man's face stand out. The man's face is painted in a realistic style, with attention to detail. His eyes are looking straight ahead, and his eyebrows are slightly furrowed. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the subtleties of the man's expression. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a rich, textured look. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the man's face.
