Théophile Alexandre Steinlen — Self-Portrait
Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

Self-Portrait

1905

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's "Self-Portrait" is a lithograph that captures the artist's contemplative visage with characteristic sensitivity and psychological depth. Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, the work demonstrates Steinlen's masterful command of the lithographic medium, employing bold lines and tonal variations to convey both form and introspection. As a Swiss born artist working in Paris, Steinlen was renowned for his socially conscious imagery, and even in this intimate self-examination, his technical skill and observant eye are evident.
