WORK BY FRIDA KAHLO

Self-Portrait Dedicated to Dr. Eloesser

In 1940 Kahlo painted this self-portrait for the American surgeon Leo Eloesser, her doctor and friend. The painting belongs to the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.

Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, Los Angeles

Kahlo wears a necklace of thorns and an earring shaped like a hand. The ribbon at the bottom states in Spanish that she painted the portrait in 1940 for Dr. Leo Eloesser, “my doctor and my best friend”. The Lucas Museum acquired the work in 2020; since the museum opened in September 2026 it has hung in the fourth-floor galleries.
