Portret van Johannes René (Jampie) van Vloten als kind c. 1887 - 1892

This charcoal drawing, created between 1887 and 1892, is a portrait of Johannes René (Jampie) van Vloten as a child by Dutch artist Willem Witsen. The drawing depicts the young boy's head and shoulders, with his face turned slightly away from the viewer, creating a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. Witsen, a key figure in Dutch realism, employed loose, expressive strokes to capture Jampie's youthful features. The drawing currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into Witsen's artistic style and the lives of ordinary Dutch citizens during this period.
