Zelfportret: B-1-1, 15 februari Possibly 1942

This self-portrait, created in 1942 by Dutch artist Cor van Teeseling, is a poignant example of his work. Rendered in brown pencil on paper, the artwork depicts the artist's face, gazing directly at the viewer with an intense and almost melancholic expression. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist’s talent and a reminder of his tragically short life, as he died later that year. The artwork is a powerful example of realism, capturing the likeness of the artist with incredible detail. This artwork is a testament to Teeseling's talent, which was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 27.
