EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jacob de Wit, a renowned artist of his time. The portrait showcases de Wit himself, depicted in an oval medallion held by a charming putto. In the foreground, we see an array of painting supplies that hint at de Wit's creative process and dedication to his craft. The attention to detail is evident in this exquisite piece, with every stroke and line meticulously engraved on paper. The signature in the upper right corner further authenticates this remarkable work as one created by Jacob de Wit himself. Surrounding the central figure are cupids known as amores or amoretti, along with other cherubic putti. These playful figures add a touch of whimsy and enchantment to the composition, enhancing its overall appeal. It is worth noting that Jacob Houbraken is mentioned on the object itself, perhaps indicating a collaboration or connection between these two talented artists from Amsterdam in 1751. This engraving from the Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only Jacob de Wit's artistic prowess but also provides insight into his world through the inclusion of painting tools and implements. It serves as a testament to his legacy and contribution to art history
