"Self-Portrait: Degas Lifting His Hat" is a notable artwork by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1863. This self-portrait is an exemplar of Degas's early exploration into the realm of self-representation, a theme less prevalent in his oeuvre compared to his renowned studies of movement and the human figure in scenes of daily life, ballet, and horse racing. The painting showcases Degas at a relatively young age, embodying both the confidence and the introspective nature of the artist.

In this work, Degas presents himself in a semi-formal attire, capturing a moment of genteel refinement as he appears to be lifting his hat, a gesture of greeting or acknowledgment. The action suggests a moment of social interaction, yet the artist's gaze does not meet the viewer's, adding a layer of introspection and distance. This nuanced self-representation reflects Degas's complex relationship with the Parisian society of his time and his position within the Impressionist movement, of which he was a reluctant member.

The painting is executed with the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Degas's work, yet it also hints at the looser, more expressive brushwork that would come to define his later pieces. The color palette is subdued, focusing on earth tones that highlight the texture of the artist's skin and clothing, as well as the shadow and light playing across his features.

"Self-Portrait: Degas Lifting His Hat" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its insight into the artist's self-perception and his nuanced approach to portraiture. It stands as a testament to Degas's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, including himself, with both realism and psychological depth. The painting is a valuable piece for scholars and enthusiasts of Degas's work, offering a glimpse into the personal world of an artist better known for his observations of others.
