Philip Akkerman
Self-Portrait 2003 no. 47, 2003
The self-portraits of Philip Akkerman (1957) often feature all sorts of caps and hats. This painting may be referencing Rembrandt, who sometimes also pictured himself wearing a turban, for example. Here, Akkerman is wearing a fez, named after the Moroccan city. The colour of the fez is also used in

the shadows under the nose and on the chin. From this angle, we cannot see whether the fez has a traditional tassel.
