"Schildersportret met aan weerszijden Schilderkunst en Fama" is a pen and ink drawing by Italian artist Francesco Fontebasso, dating from the 18th century and now in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a self-portrait of the artist, framed by an oval and flanked by personifications of Painting (left) and Fame (right). This work is characteristic of Fontebasso's draftsmanship and the use of allegorical figures within his artwork. This pen and ink drawing likely served as a preliminary study for a larger painting.
