Self Portrait
1931

A watercolor and ink painting of a man's self-portrait reflected in a mirror. The man has a serious expression, with prominent eyes and a receding hairline. The colors are earthy and the brushstrokes are expressive, adding a textured look to the image. The mirror frame is thick and dark, contrasting with the lighter tones of the man's face and shirt.
