This is the second of two self portraits by Epstein, the earlier being 'Self-Portrait with a Cap', of 1912, a cast of which is in the National Portrait Gallery. Epstein is said to have modelled the 1920 work shortly after his return from a walking tour in Cornwall with the Mexican painter Benjamin Coria. He did not usually wear a beard.
