Self-Portrait in Front of Stairs (Selbst vor Treppe)

Deutsche Grafik 1903–1925, 1922

The image shows a portrait of a person from the shoulders up, facing forward with a direct gaze. Their facial features are stylized with bold colors, including large green eyes. The person has short, parted hair with reflective highlights suggesting a blonde shade. They wear a blue garment with a bow around the neck and a hint of a patterned shirt collar underneath. The background includes a light-painted wall, a staircase visible through an open doorway on the left, and a tall window with a crossbar on the right. The composition is colorful and expressive.
