    Description

    After Arnold Bocklin (1827-1901)

    Self-portrait with Death playing the fiddle
    Oil on canvas laid down on panel
    23-1/2 x 19-1/2 inches (59.7 x 49.5 cm)

    Arnold Bocklin's work was quite popular during his lifetime, highly collected now for its mythological references and eccentric details such as seen in this famous Self-Portrait, the original of which is housed at the Staatliche Museum in Munich. Originally entitled Portrait of Myself, with Death playing a violin, 1872, the artist that completed this work has done an excellent job of honoring the original. The playful skeleton perched on the artist's back is a mere distraction to Bocklin as he completes his picture, palette in hand.

    Provenance:
    Christie's, London (2001)
