Self-Portrait 1944

This expressive black and white drawing, "Self-Portrait," was created in 1944 by Hungarian artist Ilka Gedo. It features a gestural style with loose lines capturing a sense of depth and movement. Gedo's signature, in the lower right corner, identifies her as the artist. The portrait, drawn in pen and ink, portrays her sitting with her head resting on her hand, offering a glimpse into her thoughtful and introspective nature. The loose and rapid strokes suggest a spontaneous creation, capturing the fleeting moments of thought and emotion.
