Selbstbildnis im Strohhut (Self-Portrait in a Straw Hat) 1913

"Selbstbildnis im Strohhut" (Self-Portrait in a Straw Hat) is a 1913 etching by German artist Lovis Corinth (1858-1925). The artwork is a self-portrait, a common subject for Corinth, and is known for its expressive lines and bold use of shadow. In the image, Corinth, wearing a hat with a wide brim and a coat, looks directly at the viewer with a penetrating gaze. The etching's strong contrasts and dramatic composition convey the artist's intense personality and artistic vision. Corinth was a leading figure in German Expressionism, and his self-portraits often reflected his struggles with illness and his deep connection to his craft.
