Artist, Dutch, 1868 - 1944

The image displays a full face portrait of a person facing forward, centered and looking directly at the viewer. The person has defined facial features with strong, linear patterns, a serious expression, deep-set eyes, and a slight frown. They have a soft, youthful facial structure and wear a patterned cap with crisscross lines, as well as a top with a sailor-style collar showing bold stripes. The background is solid dark, contrasting sharply with the light lines defining the person's features and attire.
