Self-Portrait is a pencil and sepia ink on paper drawing by Finnish artist Ellen Thesleff (1869–1954) created from 1894 to 1895. It is one of nine early works produced from 1890 to 1905, sometimes referred to as her "natural" period. The drawing is believed to have been influenced by spiritualism and Symbolism, an art movement popular in France at the fin de siècle. Thesleff uses a restrained, ascetic palette devoid of color to depict her likeness, which is interpreted as both introspective and transcendent. It is held by the Finnish National Gallery, Ateneum art museum, in Helsinki.
