Self-Portraits

Portraits in which the artist is the sitter, painted or drawn to record the maker's own face, state of mind or place in the world. A work belongs here when the cited article calls it a self-portrait. It excludes portraits of other people, even those once thought to be self-portraits. Self-portraits can be a record of the face in the mirror, a statement of rank or profession, or a study of age, illness, fear or pride. The group follows the sitter as the cited article names the person, whether the picture is a quick study, a formal portrait or a symbolic image.
