Self-Portrait

Heinrich Aldegrever

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man, focusing on the upper half of his body. The man is slightly positioned to the right, looking straight ahead. His facial features are clearly defined with a notable nose, full beard, and mustache. He wears a cap, and his hair is styled in short, controlled waves. He is clothed in a draped garment and wears a detailed chain or necklace around his neck. The background features textured lines, and there is a written inscription at the bottom.
