1879 (ca.), Edouard Manet, Portrait of the Artist (Manet with a Palette) -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: Although Manet often sat for portraits by fellow artists, this is one of only two known painted self- portraits. He presents himself both as a painter, holding the tools of his trade, and as a Parisian dandy, in his black felt hat and yellow jacket. The rapidly sketched, seemingly unfinished hand echoes the quick action of the artist at work.
