Zelfportret van de kunstenaar 1869

Victor Collodion's self-portrait, a striking lithograph titled "Zelfportret van de kunstenaar" and completed in 1869, is a caricature of the artist himself. The artwork depicts the artist in profile, wearing a large, wide-brimmed hat, with a paintbrush held diagonally across his body. The image is humorous in its depiction of the artist, as Collodion presents himself as both a creative figure and a somewhat comical one, with a focus on artistic tools and the exaggerated details of his own appearance. It is a self-aware and playful statement about the life of an artist.
