This original, turn-of-the-century oil on canvas self-portrait captures a young man in three-quarter profile, painted with confident brushwork and a keen sense of character. Signed “Ackerman” in the lower right and further identified with an inscribed metal nameplate, the piece exudes quiet introspection and period charm.

Presented in a hand-carved, period wood frame, the portrait reflects the timeless appeal of academic realism from the early 20th century. A compelling work for collectors of portraiture, American or European fine art, and those drawn to personal narrative rendered with artistic sensitivity.

 Note: canvas size measures 12 x 10.
