Very beautiful and sought-after etching by Willem Witsen.
This etching depicts one of his views of the Oude Schans in Amsterdam. It's beautifully composed and highly detailed. Also worth noting is the beautiful reflection in the water.
Signed in pencil lower right. Numbered lower left with no. 15. It is likely that this etching was printed by Willem Witsen himself; this is described in "Het etswerk van Willem Witsen," the illustrated catalog of E.J. van Wisselingh & Co. It was customary for Witsen to have the first ten or twenty copies of his etchings printed himself.
This particular work is also listed in the catalogue, under number 484. On the back of the frame is a sticker from EJ van Wisselingh & Co. with the number and title.
The entire piece is in excellent condition. The page has discolored over the years, which is reasonably expected of a work on paper over 100 years old. Otherwise, the work is very neat, with no stains or other damage.
Another copy of this etching is in the collection of the Kunstmuseum in The Hague.
Due to the size and fragility of the item, collection is preferred. Shipping/delivery is possible upon consultation.
