Self-Portrait at Sixteen

The painting features a surreal image of a man’s head emerging from a swirling, ethereal landscape, blending with stormy skies and a barren terrain. Framed by weathered branches twisting mysteriously, his pensive expression contrasts with the turbulent, dreamlike background, evoking a sense of introspection.
