Autorretrato c.1910 is a 1910 oil by Eliseu Visconti, a Impressionism work, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.

The background of the painting is a light beige color, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The overall style of the painting is realistic, with attention to detail in the subject's facial expression and clothing.
