Judith Leyster communicated her confidence in her artistic abilities in Self-Portrait by displaying painting tools. This choice illustrates her identity as an artist and her active engagement in the creative process, reinforcing her professionalism and skills.
The background of the painting is slightly darker than the foreground. A young woman is sitting in a chair. She is dressed in a black and red dress with a large white ruffled collar. Her hair is pulled back and is under a white bonnet-like hat. The woman's facial expression and body language are very relaxed and her mouth is curved into a small smile. While holding a paintbrush with her right hand, she rests her elbow on the back of her chair. Her left hand is holding a paint pallet while it rests on her lap. On the easel, positioned to her left, there is a painting of a man dressed in a blue suit playing the fiddle. His facial expression is painted as a happy one.
