Always get a chuckle when people try to deride the selfie based on the fact taking one is supposed to symbolize a lack of social prowess or as a criticism of modern Millennial culture. However, the selfie is nothing new to the art world: they used to call it a self-portrait.

"Self-Portrait with Two Circles"; Rembrant; 1659-60



We even have examples of the animal kingdom taking a selfie (see my avatar).
