Abstract (en)

Discusses a graphite self-portrait of 1860, acquired by the Art Institute of Chicago in 1987. Author notes the pensive and disengaged stance struck by the artist, and argues this is indicative of Solomon's search for a place in a society that positioned him--as a Jew and homosexual--outside the boundaries of convention.
