1915
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Self-Portrait is a 1915 by Käthe Kollwitz, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This self-portrait shows a woman's face, drawn in dark charcoal on a light-brown background. Her eyes look straight ahead, and her mouth is set in a serious expression. A headscarf covers her hair. The artist's use of dark lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation.
