Selbstbildnis (Self-Portrait)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait focusing on the head and shoulders of a person facing forward, with their head slightly turned to the side. The person's face is shadowed with strong contrast, highlighting facial features such as a prominent brow, deep-set eyes, and a stern mouth. The hair appears dark and tousled, blending into the shaded areas. The clothing is sketched with minimal detail, suggesting a collared garment. The background is plain, putting emphasis on the subject. Visible writing at the top right may be a date or signature.
