Anna waser: self-portrait, 1704. Silverpoint on parchment, 13. 1 x 9. 6 cm. Anna wasera tigurina fecit a[nno] 1704: "anna waser of zurich made it in the year 1704". (a tear on the right side of the sheet was removed by image processing. ) the depictions of waser in the artist encyclopedias of johann caspar füssli (1757, 1770) and jean-baptiste descamps (1764) are very similar to this drawing (hairstyle and clothing exactly the same); they could be based on this work by waser. (füssli 1757: https://www. Digitale-sammlungen. De/de/view/bsb10070240?page=281). Date: 1704.
