Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin (French, ) • The Monkey Painter • 1739-1740
Although not a self-portrait in the true sense, I'm including it here because it's so fascinating. The monkey is the artist as subject, gazing away from the canvas at what is perhaps the subject it is painting.
Firstly, there is the Rococo era's obsession with paintings of monkeys. Called Singerie, it is a French term describing visual arts depicting monkeys engaged in human activities. It was at the height of its popularity in mid 18th century France. It is said that even Madame de Pompadour succumbed to the monkey craze!
Secondly, this work serves as a commentary on the state of art and artists in French society at the time. Chardin was a member of the French Royal Academy, yet he was critical of the academy's narrow-minded attitudes toward what was considered art worthy of its stamp of approval. This archaic focus begged the question – does the Royal Academy want artists that can think critically, or does it simply want imitators of their narrow rules? Hence, a monkey can be trained to paint but a true artist analyzes and discerns myriad aspects of their subjects.
Pierre-Louis de Surugue (French, 1716–1772) • The Monkey Antiquarian • 1743 • after Jean-Baptiste Siméon Chardin
The Monkey Painter and the print above were frequently reproduced. The caption here translates: "In the obscure maze of ancient monuments Why, learned man, do you put yourself to so much trouble? For truly philosophical eyes, our century Provides enough to keep one busy."

The Stolen Kiss
Artist: Jean-Honoré Fragonard (French, 1732-1806)
Date: 1787
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Collection: Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg
Description
The Stolen Kiss is an oil on canvas painting created in 1787, located in the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg. It has been historically attributed to the French Rococo artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806).
In the late 18th century, The Stolen Kiss belonged to Stanisław August Poniatowski, the last monarch of the first Rzechpospolita, and was hosted in the Lazienki Palace in Warsaw. With the acquisition of the palace in the early 19th century by Tsar Alexander I, the painting effectively became part of the Russian imperial collections. It was transferred in 1895 to the Hermitage Museum, where it remains.
The traditional attribution of The Stolen Kiss to Fragonard is based on a mention of him as the author, with an etching of the painting published in 1788. However, it has been noted that the style of the painting, though close to Fragonard's works such as The Bolt, is more characteristic of the artist's sister-in-law and apprentice, Marguerite Gérard; because of that, some scholars consider the painting to be either a collaboration of Gérard and Fragonard, or solely a Gérard work.
