An etching of me

Ernst Wetzenstein, 1890-1982
.
I ended up scanning the picture, the colors are not perfect, but better than the photos I took.
I was probably five years old when I sat for a couple of etchings. The artist used an electric tool direct on the plate during the sittings — I was so fascinated and impressed that he didn't sketch first.
We were told that one of these etchings were sold to an art museum in Munich — not quite as well-known as Mona Lisa!
