Zelfportret, 9 mei Possibly 1942 - 1949

"Zelfportret, 9 mei" is a self-portrait by Dutch artist Cor van Teeseling, created sometime between 1942 and 1949. This pencil drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the artist's likeness with striking realism, focusing on his face and upper torso. The subtle shading and details of the collar and shirt create a sense of depth and texture, conveying a sense of vulnerability and introspection. The date "9 mei" inscribed on the drawing likely refers to the artist's birthday, adding a personal touch to this powerful work.
