Bust of a Weary Man, Self-portrait (Ermüdender Kopf, Selbstporträt)

Walter Gramatté

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a close-up artistic depiction of a person's head and shoulders. The person's head is slightly tilted, and their gaze is directed forward. The facial features are abstract and heavily stylized, with exaggerated eyes, nose, and lips. The hair is depicted with sharp, linear strokes that create a textured appearance, with a reddish area near the forehead. The person appears to be wearing a garment with visible horizontal lines suggesting clothing. The background consists of a textured, cloudy effect, with swirling patterns blending into the figure. No visible jewelry or handheld objects are present in the artwork.
