Self-Portrait 7 is a self-portrait by Hungarian-Indian artist Amrita Sher-Gil, one of several of her self-portraits completed in 1930 in Paris. It shows her as a "vivacious and jovial" character. In the portrait, Sher-Guil's hair falls freely and she is wearing a dress that reveals her shoulders. She appears leaning forward towards the viewer, and looks seductive. It has been likened to Renoir's portrait of the Actress Jeanne Samary (1877), and Raja Ravi Varma's late 19th century painting, Lady Holding a Fruit. It is one of her 19 known self-portraits created in Europe.
