Selbstbildnis (Self-Portrait)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of an individual from the waist up, facing forward. The person's head is slightly tilted and turned to the side with a focused expression. The facial features, such as a nose and mustache, are intricately lined, and the hair is short. The person is wearing a light-colored jacket over a shirt with a collar and tie. They are holding an object in their hands, potentially a notebook or tablet, with a pencil or pen ready. The background is simple without detailed shading, emphasizing the subject. The image is monochrome, composed of detailed line work and etching techniques.
