About the piece
Painted in 1901, Willem Witsen’s portrait of Jeanne Freeken is a beautiful example of the late 19th-century fascination with Japonisme. The subject is draped in a patterned yellow kimono, her thoughtful expression emerging from a moody, atmospheric background that highlights the luminous quality of the artist's brushwork.
