that is not a self-portrait
I don't know if the character displayed is the artist himself (which it should be for a "self" portrait), but it's questionable if it even is a portrait in the first place. If I quote the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, this is also what I understand as a portrait: "A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer."
