"Zelfportret en face, mei 1942" is a self-portrait by Dutch artist Cor van Teeseling. Created in pencil on paper, the drawing depicts the artist’s face in a close-up view, with the focus on his expression. The work is part of the Rijksmuseum’s collection and is a poignant reminder of van Teeseling's tragic fate. The artist died in 1942, during World War II, shortly after creating this self-portrait. This artwork is a compelling example of van Teeseling's talent for capturing subtle emotion through detailed rendering of the human face.
