Willet was born in Amsterdam and married Louisa Holthuysen on 17 July 1861.[1]
Willet was a member of Arti et Amicitiae.[1] For years, his art collection was considered the basis of the Willet-Holthuysen museum collection, but recent research has shown that his wife was perhaps more influential in forming the collection.[2]
