Self-portrait is a 1860 oil by Emma Gaggiotti Richards, held at Uffizi Gallery.
The painting is a self-portrait of a woman with dark hair styled in a bun, wearing a black dress with white lace at the collar. She holds a paintbrush in her right hand and a palette in her left. The background is a light beige color. The woman's gaze is directed towards the viewer, and her expression is neutral. Her dark hair is neatly styled, and her attire is simple yet elegant. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Emma Gaggiotti Richards.
Emma Gaggiotti Richards (1825 – 1912) was an Italian painter who was active in the United Kingdom. She completed five paintings for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
