German photographer Ilse Bing created one of the most iconic self-portraits of the 20th century. Taken in Paris in the early 1930s, her experimental mirror study became a symbol of artistic innovation and self-reflection.
With bold angles, layered perspectives, and her Leica in hand, Bing presented herself as a curious, forward-thinking artist.
