About this work
Van Musscher depicts Witsen as a half-length portrait, head turned to the left, seated on a chair, facing forward. Dressed in a Japanese robe, with a long wig, he makes a speaking gesture with his right hand. On the table an oriental tablecloth and a letter, on the right in the background a relief with an allegorical representation of Amsterdam.
