Self-Portrait 1918

M.C. Escher's "Self-Portrait" from 1918 is a woodcut print showcasing the artist's signature graphic style in its early stages. The portrait, depicted in shades of brown, presents a simplified yet expressive rendition of Escher's features, emphasizing strong geometric lines and a distinct sense of depth. This self-portrait, created during Escher's artistic development, foreshadows the complex, illusionary worlds he would explore in his later, iconic works.
