Zelfportret: B-1-1, 24 februari Possibly 1942

This self-portrait by Dutch artist Cor van Teeseling, titled "Zelfportret: B-1-1, 24 februari," is a poignant example of his work created around 1942. The graphite drawing shows a somber yet introspective portrait of the artist, a sense of quietude permeating the lines and shading. The artist's gaze is downcast, perhaps reflecting the turbulent time of the Second World War. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a haunting reminder of the artist’s life and the uncertain times he lived through.
