1934
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Self-Portrait is a 1934 by Käthe Kollwitz, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting is a self-portrait, showcasing the artist's face in a close-up view. The subject's eyes are cast downward, and their mouth is slightly open, conveying a sense of introspection. The facial features are rendered in dark, muted tones, with visible lines and creases that suggest age and wear. A notable detail in the painting is the use of shading to create depth and dimensionality. The artist's use of light and dark values adds texture and volume to the subject's face, drawing the viewer's attention to the subtle contours of their features. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Käthe Kollwitz.
Käthe Kollwitz (German pronunciation: born Schmidt; 8 July 1867 – 22 April 1945) was a German artist who worked with painting, printmaking (including etching, lithography and woodcuts) and sculpture.
