Portrait by Himself
Original caption: Portrait by Himself
A long-coated figure stands with a cane and a dark object hanging from one hand. Fine grey patterning and angular shapes give the narrow body an unsettled surface. The caption Portrait by Himself identifies the image as de Bosschère’s self-portrait.
