Self-portraits are usually produced with the help of a mirror, and the finished result is a mirror-image portrait, a reversal of what occurs in a normal portrait when sitter and artist are opposite each other.
Selvportrætter fremstilles normalt ved hjælp af et spejl, og det færdige resultat er et spejlbillede – modsat et normalt portræt, hvor model og kunstner står over for hinanden.
