Portret van Amit c. 1921

"Portret van Amit" is an etching by Willem Witsen, created in 1921. The artwork depicts a close-up portrait of Amit, a man wearing a traditional Indonesian headdress, with a serious expression. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Witsen's characteristic style of detailed, almost photographic realism, focusing on the subject's face and the subtle textures of clothing and skin. The etching's small size further emphasizes the intimacy of the portrait, highlighting Amit's individual presence.
