"Self Portrait with Lace Jabot" is a notable pastel artwork by the French Rococo artist Maurice Quentin de La Tour (1704–1788), renowned for his masterful pastel portraits that captured the essence of French high society during the 18th century. This self-portrait, which is one of several created by the artist, is a testament to his skill and reputation as one of the leading portraitists of his time.

In this self-portrait, La Tour presents himself with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, showcasing his confidence and self-assuredness as an artist. The lace jabot, a decorative clothing accessory that cascades from the neck, is prominently featured and is indicative of the fashion of the period. The intricate detailing of the lacework demonstrates La Tour's adeptness with the pastel medium, allowing him to achieve a high level of realism and texture that was highly admired by his contemporaries.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the artist's self-perception and the cultural milieu of the 18th century. Maurice Quentin de La Tour's self-portraits are often studied for their introspective quality and the way they reflect the social and artistic conventions of the French Enlightenment.

As a celebrated artist of his time, La Tour was appointed as the official portraitist to King Louis XV. His self-portraits, including the "Self Portrait with Lace Jabot," have been exhibited in various prestigious institutions and form part of important art collections, reflecting the enduring legacy of his work. The exact date of this self-portrait's creation is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to the mid-18th century, a period during which La Tour was at the height of his artistic career.

This self-portrait is a quintessential example of La Tour's mastery of the pastel medium and his ability to convey personality and status through portraiture. It remains an important work for scholars studying the evolution of self-portraiture and the broader context of European art history.
