A self-portrait is a representation of an artist that is drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by himself. Self-portraits have been around since the earliest times. Even our specie homosapien made self portraits 100.000 years ago. Yes, you heard that right, that’s a very long time ago.
This is probably the oldest painting. Can you imagine that? Nowadays we can make paintings of ourselves very easy. We can easily make an abstract self portrait in a few days. You should educate yourself more about painting because it’s the oldest art ever. Images of artists at work are encountered in Ancient Egyptian painting, and sculpture and also on Ancient Greek vases. In the modern times one of the first self-portraits was made by the Pharaoh Akhenaten’s chief sculptor Bak in 1365 BC.
