Self-portrait (Hans Holbein the Younger)

The Self-portrait is a small drawing by the German Renaissance artist and printmaker Hans Holbein the Younger, completed around 1542–1543, and housed in the Uffizi, Florence.

According to art historian John Rowlands, "Although this drawing has been enlarged on all sides and heavily reworked, enough of it still shows to allow the assumption that the original work was executed by Holbein.

[1] Copies of the drawing exist, including one by Lucas Horenbout, in which the left-handed Holbein is holding a paintbrush.

Art historian Stephanie Buck notes that Holbein's direct gaze suggests he was looking into a mirror.

[2] The work was acquired in London for Gran Duke Cosimo III de' Medici in 1681.
