Kathe Kollwitz

"Self Portrait", 1924, Kathe Kollwitz.
I don't want to or expect that I'll ever be able draw photorealistic representations. No, I want to draw like Kathe Kollwitz. It's stunning how she can capture emotion and spirit with such beautiful simplicity, expertly avoiding even the slightest unnecessary strokes.

Certainly a masterful picture, as good as any photograph. Possibly with a greater insight of the person, the artist can draw things that appear beneath the skin.
