The untitled self portrait by Hungarian-born Indian artist [[Amrita Sher-Gil]] (1913–1941), is an [[oil on canvas]] painting completed in 1931 in Paris, and gifted to her friend [[Boris Taslitzky]]. It was created in the same year that she produced portraits of [[Yusuf Ali Khan]], who she was engaged to, and [[Viktor Egan]], her cousin who she later married. In 2015 it was sold for £1.7 million at auction in London.<ref name=Christies2015>{{cite web |date=2015 |title=Amrita Sher-Gil (1913-1941) Untitled (Self Portrait) |url=https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5895257 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231125061832/https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5895257 |archive-date=25 November 2023 |access-date=25 November 2023 |website=www.christies.com |publisher=Christies}}</ref><ref name=Josh2015>{{cite book |last1=Josh |first1=Jagran |title=Current Affairs: October 2015 |date=2015 |publisher=Jagran Josh |page=418 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=24zZCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA418 |language=en |chapter=Amrita Sher-Gil self-portrait sold for 17 crore rupees in London}}</ref><ref name=Nair2015>{{cite news |last1=Nair |first1=Uma |date=24 April 2015 |title=Amrita Sher-Gil's portrait at Christies |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/plumage/amrita-sher-gils-portrait-at-18-christies/ |access-date=25 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231125061711/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/plumage/amrita-sher-gils-portrait-at-18-christies/ |archive-date=25 November 2023}}</ref><ref name=Roy2023>{{cite news |last1=Roy |first1=Amit |date=2015 |title=Sold: Sher-Gil self-portrait for £1.7m |language=en |work=www.telegraphindia.com |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/world/sold-sher-gil-self-portrait-for-pound-1-7m/cid/1357659 |access-date=25 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231125061540/https://www.telegraphindia.com/world/sold-sher-gil-self-portrait-for-pound-1-7m/cid/1357659 |archive-date=25 November 2023}}</ref><ref name=Basu2015>{{cite news |last1=Basu |first1=Shrabani |author-link=Shrabani Basu |date=31 May 2015 |title=Portrait of an artist |language=en |work=www.telegraphindia.com |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/7-days/portrait-of-an-artist/cid/1313926 |access-date=25 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231125061332/https://www.telegraphindia.com/7-days/portrait-of-an-artist/cid/1313926 |archive-date=25 November 2023}}</ref><br />
