Self-Portrait: Caricatures

Elihu Vedder, c. 1918

The image contains a pencil sketch on a piece of paper with roughened edges. The main focus is a head portrayed from the shoulders up. The face has a heavy expression with wrinkles and sagging features, indicating an elderly person. The hair is sparse and thinning. The sketch includes additional drawings such as a whimsical face in profile on the left and a mix of shapes and textures at the top right. The paper shows handwritten notes and the word "SQUARETOES" beneath the central figure. The background is plain with the paper texture visible.
