"Selvportræt(?)" is a self-portrait by Johann Heinrich Schröder, a Danish artist known for his portraits. The 18th-century drawing, executed in pencil on paper, features a close-up view of the artist, positioned within an oval frame. Schröder captures his likeness in a natural and intimate style, highlighting his youthful features and a hint of a gentle smile. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of realism and depth, characteristic of his artistic practice. This self-portrait, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the life and artistic identity of the artist.
