Portrait of Marcel Duchamp

Portrait of Marcel Duchamp is a 1919 work of art by Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. It is an example of found object art, in reference to Marcel Duchamp who exhibited various ready-made pieces beginning in 1914.

Portrait of Marcel Duchamp is an amalgamation of broken wine glasses, assorted feathers, tree twigs, and other unidentifiable objects. The portrait in form resembles that of a bird with a long, curious neck. Commanding attention, it casts an equally stimulating shadow.
