Self-Portrait Working at a Lithographic Press

Julius Adam the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man in profile, facing left, leaning forward over a workbench. He is wearing a short-sleeved shirt, a cloth cap, and an apron tied around his waist. The workbench has various woodworking tools, including chisels and what seems to be a printing press machine. In the background, there are more tools and a workshop setting.
