Lot Essay

Compare with a black chalk drawing of the same subject, signed and dated 1937 (47 x 63 cm), photograph recorded in the R.K.D., The Hague, see also Mekkink, op. cit., cat. no. 166

Ket incorporated the self-portraits of Wim Schuhmacher and Raoul Hynckes in his still life out of respect for these two artists whom he admired very much. The selfportraits by Wim Schuhmacher and Raoul Hynckes are both now in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam
