Self-Portrait
1974–1975

Detailed black and white illustration of a person's face viewed from below, with a focus on the intense gaze and furrowed brow. The person is wearing a checkered shirt, and part of a swing's chain and seat frame is visible above their head. The artwork has a realistic style with strong contrasts and shading.
