Self-Portrait

Käthe Kollwitz

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a close-up portrait of a woman's face. The face is in a square format and fills most of the image. The face is drawn in dark shading with a range of grays. The woman's facial features include dark eye sockets with sunken eyes, deep lines around her eyes and forehead, a small nose, and thin lips that are pressed together. Her hair frames her face on the right side. The background of the portrait is off-white with a slightly textured appearance. The portrait is signed in gray at the bottom right. In the bottom-left corner, there is a small number.
