Not content with being one of the great composers of both the 19th and 20th centuries, Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) also painted, and this is a self-portrait from 1910. I have a copy of this on my wall at home, and I genuinely like it as a work of art and a good likeness, although it also serves to remind me that you can't be world-class at everything, something I sure the intense and uncompromising Schoenberg would have understood.
