Self Portrait 

Alekos Kontopoulos's "Self Portrait" is a striking example of expressive line work in drawing. The artist uses a bold black pen to capture his own likeness, with emphasis on the eyes and the deep lines of his face. While the date of creation is unknown, the work likely dates from the latter half of Kontopoulos's career (1904-1975), as it captures the artist's mature style. The work shows the influence of modernism, with its focus on capturing the essence of the subject rather than precise detail.
