Portret van Hein Boeken c. 1891

Willem Witsen's "Portret van Hein Boeken", created around 1891, is a striking etching depicting the subject in a close-up portrait. The dark tones and loose, expressive lines characteristic of Witsen's style lend a sense of depth and emotion to the image. The subject's gaze is obscured, creating an air of mystery and leaving room for interpretation. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Witsen's mastery of etching as a medium and his ability to capture personality through nuanced detail.
