Bauer c. 1860 - 1915

"Bauer" is a portrait photograph by Willem Witsen, created between 1860 and 1915. The photograph, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in a seated pose, looking away from the viewer. The muted tones and realistic details of the image are characteristic of Witsen's style, which often explored themes of social realism and the lives of ordinary people. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of an individual, capturing their likeness and presence with a sense of intimacy and observation.
