Self-portrait is a 1640 oil by Govert Flinck, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Man, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This portrait depicts a man with long, wavy brown hair and a red beret. He wears a black jacket with a high collar and a red sash around his neck. The man's face is painted with a subtle, naturalistic style, and his expression is calm and introspective. The background of the painting is a muted gray-brown color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds depth and dimension to the painting.
