Willem Witsen's 1912 portrait of Andries van Wezel is a powerful depiction of a man in a dark suit and a red flower pinned to his lapel. The painting is a striking example of Witsen's realist style, known for its focus on capturing the subject's character and emotions. The dark background emphasizes the subject’s face and features, highlighting the details of Van Wezel's expression. This portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Witsen's skill as a portraitist and his ability to convey depth and emotion in his subjects.
