Gloomy Face, Self-portrait 1922

"Gloomy Face, Self-portrait" is a 1922 etching by German expressionist artist Walter Gramatté. The work is a self-portrait, depicting the artist with a somber expression, which is emphasized by the use of dark, expressive lines. This stark depiction reflects the artist's inner turmoil and perhaps the anxieties of the post-World War I era. The artist is shown wearing glasses and a jacket, and the background is left mostly blank. The work is signed by the artist, Walter Gramatté, in the lower right corner.
