Self-Portrait Drawing is a 1675 ink by Michael Lukas Leopold Willmann, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a man hunched over a table. He’s wearing a loose robe and a hat pulled low, his hands resting on the table as if he’s working. The lines are scratchy and thick, giving the whole image a rough, textured look. The artist used a technique that creates sharp, uneven marks—this is called drypoint. The paper has a grid pattern, which was common back then. Next, look up etching to see how it’s different from drypoint.
Michael Lukas Leopold Willmann (1660–1660) was an artist.
