Self-Portrait With a Bandaged Ear

A man in a fur cap and dark overcoat sits before a flame-orange background, his head wrapped with a white bandage over one ear. He holds a curved pipe between his lips, and swirling smoke rises beside his face. Thick, rhythmic brushstrokes define the features and the glowing red and yellow ground.
