"Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird" by Frida Kahlo, painted in 1940, is one of Kahlo's most iconic works. The self-portrait depicts the artist with a stern expression, surrounded by symbolic elements such as a thorn necklace piercing her skin, a black cat, a monkey, and a lifeless hummingbird hanging from the necklace. These elements reflect Kahlo's pain, both physical and emotional, as well as her deep connection to nature and Mexican folklore. The intricate details and vibrant colors draw the viewer into Kahlo's world, where she explores themes of identity, suffering, and resilience. This painting is housed at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, Texas.
