Self-Portrait

Heinrich Tischler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a close-up view of a person's upper body, focusing on the head and shoulders. The person is slightly hunched forward, with both hands visible at the bottom. One hand is holding a pen or stylus. The person's facial features are prominent, with sharp eyes and brow lines. Their expression conveys tension or intensity. The hair is unkempt with defined texture and volume. The person is wearing a collared shirt. The background is plain and light-toned, with abstract lines and scribbles on the left side. There are inscriptions in the top-left corner.
