Zelfportret 1822

"Zelfportret" (Self-Portrait) is a graphite drawing by German artist Christian Ernst Stölzel, created in 1822. This intimate portrait captures the artist in a close-up view, showcasing his youthful features and a thoughtful expression. The delicate lines and subtle shading give a sense of realism to the work, characteristic of Stölzel's drawing style. The small size of the piece, measuring 120 mm in height and 93 mm in width, adds to its personal and introspective nature.
