# Self-Portrait, in Early modernism

Abbott Handerson Thayer painted this in 1920, aged 71. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> In 1919, an art commentator described Abbott Handerson Thayer as "a man of slight build and of a nervous temperament, with a glance so intense and clear and penetrating; with a mind so keen and logical and which acts with such precision that the impression received of the man's personality is enduring."
