Self-Portrait
by REHBENITZ, Theodor Markus, Pencil, 195 x 159 mm
The German Romantic draftsmen also excelled in portraiture, where they achieved a limpid candour. They were generous, but they missed nothing. This is self-evidently true of the self-portrait by the relatively unknown artist, Theodor Markus Rehbenitz. For ardor, insight and an epigrammatic elegance, that little pencil drawing would be hard to beat.
