Self-Portrait 1909

Lovis Corinth's "Self-Portrait" from 1909 is a striking etching that captures the artist's intense gaze and contemplative mood. Corinth, a renowned German painter and printmaker, is depicted in a moment of artistic creation, holding a pen and a sketchpad. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the artist's weathered features and the intensity of his expression. This intimate self-portrait exemplifies Corinth's mastery of etching and his ability to convey complex emotions through a simple yet powerful image.
