Self-Portrait

Wilhelm Unger

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a man from the shoulders up. He is slightly turned to his left but looking ahead. The man has a full beard and mustache, and wears a textured hat that obscures most of his hair. He appears to be wearing a jacket over a collared shirt. The background is minimal with sketch-like lines and shading. The man is not wearing any visible jewelry or holding any objects.
