Self-Portrait

William Strang

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing at a table with his left arm resting on it. He is holding a piece of paper in his right hand. He has a mustache and short, combed back hair, wearing a suit with a tie, vest, and jacket. On the table are papers, an inkwell, and a pen. Behind him is an industrial press with a wooden wheel, and to his right is an open book displaying a portrait of another person. The background is simple, focusing on the workspace with the press and scattered papers.
