Hitler’s self-portrait fetches £10k at auctionLondon, Apr 24 : A self-portrait by Adolf Hitler has fetched 10,000 pounds at an auction.

The watercolour is thought to be one of the Nazi leader's earliest works.

The picture, which was painted in 1910 when the artist was 21, shows a figure sitting on a stone bridge with a cross and the initials AH above it. There are no facial features but the hairstyle is reminiscent of the older Hitler's and experts are sure it is a self-portrait, reports The Daily Express.

adolf_hitlerLondon, Mar 26 : A self-portrait of Adolf Hitler is to go under the hammer.

The Nazi leader is hardly recognisable with no moustache in the picture which is thought to be the first he ever painted.

But he identifies himself with the initials AH by his head.

The amateurish painting is among 13 works by the Nazi dictator, created back in 1910 when he was just 21.

The small portrait has no nose or mouth, but the side parting hairstyle is unmistakable.
