More about this artwork

The “Selbstportrait” by Karl Wiener provides an unparalleled glimpse into the artist's inner world and demonstrates his mastery of drawing techniques. Created on the 13th of June, 1910, this compelling portrait captures more than just the physical appearance of the artist; it delves into a deeper emotional landscape.Karl Wiener’s self-portrait is remarkably detailed, showcasing his skill in rendering lifelike textures and subtle shadows. The work is a study in contrast, foregrounding the artist’s sharply defined features against a softly blurred background. His piercing gaze is immediately captivating, suggesting a profound introspection or a moment of solemn self-assessment. This gaze, coupled with the slight furrow of his brows, conveys a sense of seriousness and perhaps, contemplation.The portrait is also a testament to the clothing and style of the early 20th century, notable in the crisp, high-collared shirt and neatly tied tie that frame Wiener's face. These elements not only offer a glimpse into the fashion of the era but also enhance the dignified demeanor portrayed.Karl Wiener’s “Selbstportrait” resonates with viewers not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, preserving the emotional and cultural context of its time.
