Self-Portrait or Portrait of an Old Man is an oil-on-canvas painting by El Greco, dating to between 1595 and 1600 and usually identified as a self-portrait. This is supported by the fact that the same figure appears several times in El Greco's oeuvre and aging alongside the artist.[1] It shows the influence of Titian and Tintoretto, whose works El Greco studied in Venice. It is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.[2]
