Self-Portrait

Style of Lucas van Leyden after Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

This print shows a portrait of a man with a serious expression. His face and body are turned slightly to the left. He has light skin, high cheekbones, a straight nose, short, layered hair, and a cleft chin. He wears a large hat with a wide brim. The man's clothing features a high collar, and it is decorated with several small, curving lines. The background behind him is made up of a grid of thin lines. The dark lines of the print are on off-white paper.
