Self-portrait 1960, bronze

It is a portrait of an elderly man with a jacket and shirt collar marked in sketches. The design is made of a very thin plaster cast, patinated in a greenish-gray color. The portrait was made about 4 years before Szczepkowski's death, shows proficiency and ease hidden under first apparent carelessness. The impressionistic incompleteness is visible, along with the jagged structure of the torso that gives the work dynamics. The facial features are mild, unlike the eyes. Serious, energetic. It is undoubtedly a portrait of an old man who is tired of life, but at the same time an artist, aware of his worth and talent, who can derive satisfaction from his own life.
The exhibit belongs to the collection of the Maria and Jan Szczepkowski Foundation.
