The work captures the artist in a beret, a common accessory for painters of the period, rendered with a focus on structural clarity rather than atmospheric effect. The choice of sanguine chalk on a warm, toned paper provides a consistent tonal range, allowing the artist to build volume through subtle hatching and cross-hatching techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is tightly cropped, focusing entirely on the facial features and the drape of the clothing around the neck. Van Teeseling employs a measured line quality, avoiding excessive flourish to maintain a sense of direct observation. The gaze is steady and contemplative, typical of the introspective nature often found in mid-twentieth-century self-portraiture. The artist's signature and the date are visible in the lower right corner, confirming the work's provenance within his personal archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a study, this piece offers insight into the technical proficiency of Van Teeseling during the early 1940s. The use of red chalk, a medium with a long history in European drawing, allows for a soft transition between light and shadow. The artist balances the weight of the beret against the softer folds of the collar, creating a stable, balanced image. This print captures the texture of the original paper and the specific hue of the chalk, providing an accurate representation of the artist's hand. It is a quiet, focused work that documents the artist's appearance during a specific moment in his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/two-studies-of-a-flamingo-theo-van-hoytema\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTwo Studies of a Flamingo - Theo van Hoytema — Theo van Hoytema\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cor van Teeseling","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58456289411407,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58456302747983,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58456302780751,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58456302813519,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58456302846287,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58456302879055,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58456302911823,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58456302944591,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58456302977359,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58456303010127,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58456303042895,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58456303075663,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Zelfportret-met-alpinopet_Poster_CompositorV1_1786261228115.jpg?v=1786503513","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/zelfportret-met-alpinopet-cor-van-teeseling","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
