It is interesting that this is not his usual known style. Bordering on expressionism, his self portrait took Von longer than usual. Quiet and reserved, most people associate him. And he took that image, that persona as part acceptance and acknowledgement to his enigmatic self. Von’s features, as if they are lighted by a glimmer of light hitting fractions of his visage, are countered by the artist’s signature application of textures.
