This was a self-portrait the artist did at age 31. Of the six total impressions, it is unknown how many were printed in color and how many in black and white. A later state was printed with an inset miniature, shown at the National Academy of Design Annual exhibition, 1977. (Barooshian catalogue, p. 173)
