Autorretrato III
1918
Ernst Schiess places himself front and center in this 1918 post-impressionist self-portrait, sporting a distinctive goatee and a wide-brimmed hat that dominates the right side of the canvas. Behind him, the scene shifts to a quiet domestic interior where two women interact near a bed, while two smaller, framed paintings hang on the pale blue wall. It's a fascinating glimpse into the artist's world, blending his own striking visage with the everyday life and other creative works that surrounded him.
