Self-Portrait

The artwork Self-Portrait is a print created by James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1859. It is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art.

The print, rendered in black and white, depicts the artist himself in a bust portrait. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and a striped shirt. His features, including a mustache and curly hair, are etched with loose, expressive lines. The background is rendered with a series of vertical lines, creating a sense of depth and emphasizing the artist's figure in the foreground. The artist's signature and the date are visible in the lower right corner of the print.
