Self-Portrait with an Injured Foot

Joseph Fischer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person lying on a bed, holding a sheet of paper. The person is reclined with their upper body slightly elevated against a cushion. They have curly hair and are wearing a loose-fitting cap, long-sleeved garment, pants, and fabric tied around the waist. The room contains a lamp on a small table, a jug, a plate, and other items in the background. The background is dark, creating a contrast with the illuminated area.
