Self-Portrait

A close-cropped, head-and-shoulders self-portrait rendered in loose watercolor washes, with dark tousled hair and heavy-lidded eyes gazing slightly downward. The face is built from warm ochre, yellow, and peach tones with blue-gray shadows defining the brow, nose, and jaw, set against a striped gray-and-white open collar and a loosely brushed beige and orange background. The artist's signature and "1938" appear in orange at lower right, consistent with the dated title, artist, and medium noted above.
