Zelfportret: B-1-1, 1 mei Possibly 1942 - 1945

"Zelfportret: B-1-1, 1 mei" is a self-portrait by Dutch artist Cor van Teeseling, created sometime between 1942 and 1945. The drawing, executed in pencil on paper, portrays the artist with a calm and introspective expression, his gaze directed slightly to the viewer's right. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of quiet contemplation, offering a glimpse into the artist's personal world during a turbulent period in history. The work is a poignant reminder of Van Teeseling's tragically short life, as he died at the young age of 27.
