Zelfportret, mei 1942 1942 - 1945

"Zelfportret, mei 1942" is a poignant self-portrait by Dutch artist Cor van Teeseling, created in 1942. Executed in graphite on paper, the artwork captures van Teeseling's likeness with a delicate touch. The artist, who tragically died in 1942 at the age of 27, likely produced this piece shortly before his untimely demise. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small-scale drawing offers a glimpse into the artist's final years and his mastery of portraiture.
