Self-portrait with keys is a 1936 unspecified by Ottilie Roederstein, held at Städel Museum.
This painting depicts an older woman standing in front of a light gray background. She is dressed in a dark coat and a hat, holding a set of keys in her right hand. Her expression is serious, and she looks directly at the viewer. The woman's attire and the keys she holds suggest that she may be preparing to leave or has just returned. The keys could symbolize her independence or a specific role she holds. The artist who created this self-portrait is Ottilie Roederstein.
Ottilie Wilhelmine Roederstein (22 April 1859 – 26 November 1937) was a German-Swiss painter. She was the long-time companion of Elisabeth Winterhalter, one of the first female doctors in Germany.
