About the Item

Pen and ink, ink wash and pencil on paper, signed and dated (lower right), 38cm x 29cm (65cm x 55cm framed). This penetrating and wonderfully executed self-portrait, is all the more surprising as very little is known about the career and life of the artist. Showing such technical skill and creative ability at such an early age, does not appear to have translated into success in later life. The work probably descended in the family of the artist. It came with a group of other studies by the artist from throughout his career, including a second early self-portrait from 1919 and portrait of a young woman.
