Self-Portrait with Hat and Veil is a painting by the German Expression painter Paula Modersohn-Becker.

It has been described as an impenetrable, secret painting: "the artist stands in front of a draped window, her face both in shadow and covered by a veil, doubly concealing the backlit figure from public viewing.

Only the deep V-shape of her garment suggests exposure of any kind, and even there the flower held just at the breast both hints at and denies a fuller view.

"[1] It hangs in the Kunstmuseum, in The Hague.
