Self-Portrait VI with Flower

Hans Thoma

National Gallery of Art

The image is a detailed drawing of an elderly man seated and facing forward from the waist up. He holds a flower in his right hand near the center of the image. The man has a full beard, a bald head, and short white hair on the sides. His eyes are deep-set and gaze directly at the viewer with a calm demeanor. He wears a high-collared jacket with visible buttons. His hand shows detailed lines and texture, and the background includes foliage or dense tree branches, providing a textured and shaded backdrop.
