Selbstbildnis.

Drypoint and punch work, 1911. 293x260 mm; 11 5/8x10 1/4 inches, full margins. Second state (of 2). Edition of only approximately 17. Signed, titled and dated in pencil, lower margin. A superb, richly-inked impression of this very scarce print.

Like many other German Expressionist artists, Nolde (1867-1956) was a boldly innovative printmaker who frequently made self portraits. This is one of 8 self portraits in various media in his printed oeuvre. Schiefler 157.
