Self Portrait by Keith Haring (Littmann P. 67) is an intimate departure from the artist's more familiar public imagery into a more reflective subject matter.

Created in 1986, the work captures Haring in stark black and white, his characteristic round spectacles and contemplative expression produced within the confines of a square format bordered in red.

The piece shows Haring distil his self into portraiture whilst maintaining the bold linework that defined his street art origins. The stark contrasts and simplified forms reveal Haring's debt to both Pop Art traditions cartoons and design, while the intimate scale invites closer inspection than his large-scale public works. The artist's expression appears serious, almost reserved, offering a quieter moment within a practice more often associated with movement and energy.
