"The Empath and the Fear of Being Forgotten (Self-Portrait for Käthe Kollwitz)" is an original mixed-media work on paper by Philip Gladstone
- From Philip Gladstone's Pictures Within Pictures (Museum) Series, works that reference and pay homage to iconic works of art, artists and popular culture, often with a serious underlying message — in this instance featuring a riff built around Käthe Kollwitz's 1923 woodcut "The Mothers" ("Die Mütter"), and featuring a portrayal of Kollwitz herself, alongside a Gladstone self-portrait (View Die Mütter on the MOMA site here, browse Gladstone's Museum Series portfolio here)
- Made with India ink applied with brush and pen and charcoal, heightened with white chalk, white gouache and touches of grey colored pencil with sgraffito (scraping), on clay-coated paper
- Image measures 11-5/8 by 14-3/8 inches (as shown, full sheet slightly larger)
- Created in August 2024
- Signed by the artist with his monogram cipher (PG) and dated "2024", lower right; signed again with his full name and inscribed with the title on the reverse
