London, 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.
