Zelfportret met vlinderstrik: B-1-1, 1942 1942

"Zelfportret met vlinderstrik: B-1-1," a self-portrait by Dutch artist Cor van Teeseling, is a striking depiction of the artist's somber gaze, rendered in graphite on paper. The artwork, which is a part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures the artist's youthful features, accentuated by a bow tie and a slightly shadowed collar. This intimate portrait, completed shortly before his untimely death in 1942, is a powerful testament to van Teeseling's talent for capturing the human condition.
