EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Laurens de Witte van Citters (1781-1862), a prominent figure from the Netherlands during the 19th century. The portrait, created around 1815, showcases the sitter wearing formal attire in black, which was a common choice for high-status individuals during this period. The coat and jacket, both in the same dark hue, are tailored to perfection, accentuating the man's slender build. His complexion is rosy-cheeked, suggesting good health and vitality. The subject gazes directly at the viewer with an unwavering intensity, inviting us into his world. His hair is styled in an elegant, high-collared wig, a fashionable choice for formal occasions. The hairstyle, combined with the meticulously groomed facial hair, adds to the overall air of sophistication. This portrait is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands and Europe during the 19th century. The oil painting, executed on panel, captures the intricacies of the sitter's features and textures of his clothing with remarkable detail. The use of oil paint allows for a lifelike rendering of the subject's likeness and the subtle nuances of the fabric. The portrait of Laurens de Witte van Citters is a valuable addition to the collections of the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and history of the Low Countries during this period. The direct gaze of the sitter, combined with the timeless elegance of the painting, continues to captivate and intrigue viewers, making it a cherished piece of historical art.
