Koninklijke onderscheiding, mogelijk de Orde van Oranje-Nassau Possibly 1920 - 1924

This pencil drawing by Willem Witsen, dating back to possibly between 1920 and 1924, depicts a close-up view of a royal decoration, potentially the Order of Orange-Nassau. The intricate detail of the medal's design is emphasized through the artist's skillful use of shading and linework. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Witsen's keen observation of the world around him, and his interest in capturing the finer points of even everyday objects.
