Selbstbildnis. 1914.
Woodcut.
Signed and dated. Bottom center titled, presumably by a hand other than that of the artist. On brownish Zanders laid paper (with the watermark). 36.1 x 29.8 cm (14.2 x 11.7 in). Sheet: 53,3 x 42,6 cm (21 x 16,8 in).
Printed by Panpresse, Berlin, and by Fritz Voigt, Berlin. [CH].

• Distinctive self-portrait of the great Expressionist, masterfully reduced to just the core characteristics.
• It bears the signature and the radical formal language of the “Brücke”, which had disbanded only the year before.
• Self-portraits are extremely rare, not only in the graphic oeuvre, but in Karl Schmidt-Rottluff's entire oeuvre.
• In the past ten years, only three copies of this woodcut have been offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com)
