This self-portrait was painted when Dalí was just 17 years old, shortly around the time he lost his mother in 1921. The emotive image shows him wearing a large black hat, a black cape, a red scarf and sporting a pipe, creating an unusual appearance. It seems Dalí chose to use these props as a form of early rebellion, indicating he was already consciously building an eccentric persona. #SalvadorDali https://bit.ly/3uafrZf | The Dalí Museum
