"Portrait of Myself" is a 1923 self-portrait by Florine Stettheimer, a prominent figure in the Stieglitz circle and known for her theatrical paintings. This work depicts the artist as a stylized figure, partly nude, draped in a flowing red garment, against a white and light blue background. The bright, almost childlike depiction of the sun, flowers, and other details in the painting speaks to Stettheimer's unique and personal style, often described as "magical realism".
