Self-Portrait in a Fur Coat 1913

"Self-Portrait in a Fur Coat" (1913) is a striking self-portrait by German artist Lovis Corinth, executed in the expressive style of Expressionism. The etching depicts the artist in a seated pose, his gaze intense and direct, and his features rendered with bold lines and exaggerated contours. The background, obscured by a shadowy figure, suggests the artist's introspective nature, his focus on the internal world of creative thought. Corinth's bold, emotional style is characteristic of his work, often exploring themes of self-identity and the artistic process.
