Self-Portrait in Profile is an oil painting on canvas, created around the 1590s by Italian Annibale Carracci. This self-portrait exemplifies the early Baroque style, emphasizing realistic detail and emotional depth. Acquired by Leopoldo de' Medici, it currently resides in the Uffizi's collection of artists' self-portraits, sharing space with another Carracci self-portrait. By 1686, the work was displayed alongside a previously misattributed portrait, further contributing to Carracci’s reputation as a master of capturing inner character and technical skill on canvas.
