Willem (II) Linnig's self-portrait, etched between 1852 and 1890, is a striking example of self-representation in art. The artist's intense gaze and meticulously rendered features offer a glimpse into his personality and artistic practice. Linnig, a Dutch artist known for his portraiture and landscapes, captures his likeness with great detail and expressiveness. This intimate self-portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Linnig's skill as an artist and his willingness to bare his soul to the viewer.
