Self-portrait with palette is a 1720 oil by Johann Evangelist Holzer, a Rococo painting work, held at Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.
This painting is a self-portrait of an artist, shown from the chest up. He is wearing a white shirt with a red sash across his body and a dark beret. In his left hand, he holds a palette with several colors of paint. The artist's gaze is directed straight at the viewer, and his expression is neutral. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to draw attention to the artist's face and clothing.
