Selbstbildnis—Kopf (Self-Portrait—Head)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a head-and-shoulders portrait of a man, depicted in an artistic, sketch-like style. The man is positioned slightly angled, with his head turned to the side, but his eyes are directed forward. His facial features are bold and pronounced, with a strong brow, deep-set eyes, and a thick mustache. His hair is short and appears closely cropped. The man is wearing a collared shirt, visible around his neck. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain. Below the portrait is a signature, "Lovis Corinth."
