Abklatsch van blad 9 verso c. 1915 - 1920

This artwork, "Abklatsch van blad 9 verso," created by Willem Witsen between 1915 and 1920, showcases an abstract expression of color and form. Housed in the Rijksmuseum, this piece utilizes a single, faded wash of color against a white background. The delicate blending of red, orange, and yellow hues evokes a sense of ethereal lightness, hinting at a landscape or atmospheric phenomenon. Witsen, a prominent Dutch artist known for his landscapes and figure studies, employed a minimalist approach in this artwork, creating a subtle yet evocative piece.
