Title
Självporträtt med pil i blödande hjärta
Description
This drawing is one of many in which Arosenius identifies his hemophilia with his unrequited love for the actress Ester Sahlin, a member of his circle. Being a deeply personal work from the archives, it makes no concessions to subtlety or restraint.
