This 1910 self-portrait by German Expressionist artist Käthe Kollwitz, titled "Self-Portrait, Hand at the Forehead," is a powerful depiction of introspection and emotional intensity. The etching, housed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, portrays Kollwitz with a hand covering her forehead, creating a sense of contemplation and vulnerability. The artist's signature, prominent at the bottom, adds a personal touch. The work's stark lines and expressive detail highlight the artist's signature style, which often explored themes of hardship and human suffering.
