autoportrait of Giovanni Antonio Lappoli is a 1535 oil by Pontormo, a Mannerism work, held at Uffizi Gallery.
This painting depicts a man in a red robe, with a white collar and a dark vest underneath. He is shown from the chest up, facing the viewer directly. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking right at you.
