Self-Portrait is a 1916 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man facing forward with a serious expression, holding thin objects in his hands. He's the artist himself, and the way he's depicted gives us a glimpse into his personality. The backdrop of patterned papers adds a unique touch to the portrait. This etching is a great example of the artist's skill, and to learn more about the process behind it, look into the technique of etching.
