Ernst Ludwig Kirchner - Self Portrait Sick

This portrait was made by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was created in 1918.  It depicts a sick looking man sitting in a bed wearing what appears to be a blue pajama and hes holding onto his chin with one hand.  The man in this portrait looks mentally ill.  It is said that Kirchner was an alcoholic for the first part of his career and many of the paintings he created in one way or another came true.  I like this portrait because of the worried look in his eyes and the position of his hands.  Colors look dark yet vibrant.
