Self-Portrait - "The Etcher" is a 1897 by William Strang, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man hunched over a table, drawing with a pencil. His clothes are loose, and he looks tired. On the table are a few tools: a small inkwell, some papers, and a framed portrait of another person. The artist signed it in the corner—*W. Strang*—and dated it 1897. The drawing style is simple but full of texture, especially in his hands and the fabrics. If you like this, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of his work in person.
William Strang (13 February 1859 – 12 April 1921) was a Scottish painter and printmaker, notable for illustrating the works of Bunyan, Cervantes, Coleridge, Kipling, and others.
