Zelfportret: B-1-1, 12 februari Possibly 1942

This self-portrait by Dutch artist Cor van Teeseling, created in 1942, is a powerful example of his minimalist style. The work, executed in delicate pencil strokes on paper, captures the artist's likeness with an almost ghostly intensity, showcasing the sharp lines and subtle shading that define his artistic approach. The piece, titled "Zelfportret: B-1-1, 12 februari," and currently residing in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant reminder of van Teeseling's tragic life, as he died later that same year. This drawing is a testament to van Teeseling's artistic talent and offers a glimpse into his personal world, a world tragically cut short.
