Das graphische Werk, vol. 1: Holzschnitte, New York 1964, no. H 306. -- Heinz Spielmann (ed.), Die Maler der Brücke. Sammlung Hermann Gerlinger, Stuttgart 1995, p. 303, SHG no. 458 (illu.).

Hermann Gerlinger Collection, Würzburg (with the collector's stamp, Lugt 6032)
Erich Heckel's woodcuts occupy a special place in Expressionist graphic art. Their mastery of the concentration of pictorial elements and the division of surfaces, coupled with a sure instinct for a pictorial effect, give these sheets a striking impact that is unparalleled in the graphic art of the time. The self-portrait in its strictly formal structure is virtually exemplary of the relationship Heckel created between linear interpretation in dialog with the compact surfaces, which ensures an optical balance in the composition. Erich Heckel attached great importance to the self-portrait in his graphic oeuvre and continued to do so into old age. [EH
In good condition consistent of its age. Paper skinning and slight creasing in places of corners and margins. Here also a few small tears.
