Self-Portrait
Thérèse Schwartze (signed by artist), 1917
In addition to a robust sense of self-awareness, this self-portrait by Thérèse Schwartze exudes a certain sadness. At the time she made it, the artist had lost her husband. She herself would die a year later. Schwartze’s gaze is possibly one of resignation as she looks back on a turbulent yet wildly successful international career.
