Self-Portrait 7 is a self-portrait by Hungarian-Indian artist Amrita Sher-Gil, one of several of her self-portraits completed in 1930 in Paris.[1] It shows her as a "vivacious and jovial" character.[2] In the portrait, Sher-Guil's hair falls freely and she is wearing a dress that reveals her shoulders.[3] She appears leaning forward towards the viewer, and looks seductive.[2] It has been likened to Renoir's portrait of the Actress Jeanne Samary (1877), and Raja Ravi Varma's late 19th century painting, Lady Holding a Fruit.[2] It is one of her 19 known self-portraits created in Europe.[4]
