Autoritratto
c. 1917
George Bellows captures himself in a moment of quiet concentration, sketching away with a receding hairline and a dapper bow tie. The loose, energetic lines suggest he was working quickly, perhaps capturing a fleeting thought around 1917. Despite being famous for gritty boxing scenes and urban realism, this intimate sketch shows a softer, contemplative side of the artist. It’s a rare glimpse into the mind of a man usually focused on the chaotic energy of New York City life.
