A painter never dates his works, and the chronological order of his works has only begun to form an outline in the review literature  It must be wrong to locate the time of a self portrait of the painter as 1930  In 1930, the painter was 63 years old
By not putting a date on his work, the artist tries to set aside the time factor in his criticism of his work
 However, the young, black haired man in the painting is obviously the painter himself, but it is not a 63 year old man
