Self-portrait is a 1727 oil by Dietrich Ernst Andreae, a Rococo painting work, held at Hamburger Kunsthalle.
This painting depicts a man sitting at a desk, surrounded by papers and paintbrushes. He is wearing a blue and white striped shirt and has long brown hair. The man is holding a paintbrush in his right hand and appears to be painting. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the subject's clothing and the objects on the desk. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to focus the viewer's attention on the subject.
