Self-portrait is a 1843 oil by Claudi Lorenzale, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
The painting is a self-portrait of a man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a dark jacket and a black cap. He is looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The background is a plain gray wall. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it was created in the 19th century. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds depth and dimension to the portrait.
