Throughout his career, Corneliu Baba had a permanent fascination with portraits, an obsessive interest in physiognomy and inner faces. It is not by chance that the earliest works of the artist are six portraits, the first one dating from 1919. This self-portrait is undoubtedly one of the first, with only another one being known so far, from the age of 16.
