"Self-Portrait with a Gorget" is an early work by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, believed to have been painted in 1629 when the artist was around 23 years old. This self-portrait is notable for its depiction of the young artist in a gorget, a piece of armor that protects the throat and was typically worn by soldiers during the 16th and 17th centuries. The painting is an example of Rembrandt's early exploration of his own image and his skill in rendering materials and light.

In this self-portrait, Rembrandt presents himself with an intense and penetrating gaze, engaging directly with the viewer. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of his face and the metallic sheen of the gorget. The painting is executed with a rich, earthy palette, which would become characteristic of Rembrandt's style. The artist's choice to portray himself in a gorget, rather than the more typical attire of a painter, has been interpreted as an exploration of identity and a reflection on the role of the artist in society.

The work is a testament to Rembrandt's early mastery of self-portraiture, a genre he would revisit throughout his career, producing an extensive and varied body of self-portraits that document his evolving style and self-perception. "Self-Portrait with a Gorget" is held in a private collection and is less well-known than some of his later self-portraits, which may be found in major museums around the world. Despite its relative obscurity, the painting remains an important piece within Rembrandt's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's self-image and his technical prowess at a young age.
