De Mesquita, a Dutch artist of Sephardic Jewish descent, is known for his graphic work, woodcuts, and printmaking. His work often displays a stylised, almost geometric approach to natural forms, influenced by Indonesian art and the Amsterdam School. Tragically, he, along with his family, were murdered in Auschwitz during the Second World War. His work was nearly forgotten, but was preserved by his friend M.C. Escher. The design features a symmetrical arrangement of geometric shapes. Vertical lines flank the sides, topped with concentric circles and stylised lotus-like forms. Below, a row of circles on thin stems creates a sense of balance and rhythm. The stark contrast between the black ink and the white paper enhances the design's graphic impact. The overall effect is one of restrained elegance, typical of Art Deco aesthetics, blending modern simplicity with classical motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tree-of-hope-remain-strong-frida-kahlo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTree of Hope, Remain Strong - Frida Kahlo — Frida Kahlo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-nightingales-song-at-midnight-and-the-morning-rain-joan-miro\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Nightingale's Song at Midnight and the Morning Rain - Joan Miró — Joan Miró\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57709531562319,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57709536870735,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57709536903503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57709536936271,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57709536969039,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Ornamental-Design-for-a-Bookbinding-Stamp_Poster_CompositorV1_1778892965989.jpg?v=1778893708"},{"product_id":"ornament-voor-een-boekband-book-cover-ornament-samuel-jessurun-de-mesquita","title":"Ornament voor een boekband (Book Cover Ornament) - Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","description":"\u003cp\u003eA geometric design by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, 'Ornament voor een boekband' features a symmetrical arrangement of lines and circles in black against a pale background, showcasing the artist's distinctive style and technical skill.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis geometric design, titled 'Ornament voor een boekband', is by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (1868-1944), a Dutch artist known for his graphic work and printmaking.

His work often features animals, rendered with a distinctive, somewhat abstracted style. 'Enkele liggende geiten' ('Several Lying Goats') presents two goats in a state of repose. The composition is striking for its use of geometric forms in the background, which contrast with the organic shapes of the animals. The goats are depicted with a focus on their essential forms, using a limited range of tones to create depth and texture. The lithographic technique allows for a range of tonal variation, from the solid blacks of the goats' bodies to the lighter, more textured areas that define their forms.

He taught graphic arts at the Academy for Visual Arts in Amsterdam; his pupils included M. C. Escher. De Mesquita and his family died in the Holocaust. His work is characterised by a simplified, almost abstract style, often depicting animals, figures, and scenes from nature. His use of line and form is economical, yet expressive. 'Brahmaanse zebu' (1915) is a lithograph depicting a zebu, a type of domestic cattle common in South Asia. The animal is shown in profile against a simple background of horizontal and vertical lines, perhaps representing a fence or wall. The zebu's form is rendered with careful attention to its distinctive features, such as the hump on its back and the dewlap beneath its neck. The colour palette is muted, with tones of grey, brown, and cream, creating a serene and contemplative mood.

The title, which translates from Dutch as 'Grief' or 'Sorrow', informs the composition: a solitary female figure stands in profile, her head bowed and arms raised to cover her face. The posture conveys a sense of internalised mourning, reinforced by the verticality of the design.\n\nDe Mesquita employs a rigorous technique of parallel lines to define both the figure and the surrounding space. These lines follow the contours of the body, creating a rhythmic texture that suggests volume without relying on traditional shading. The background consists of similar vertical striations, which serve to compress the pictorial space and focus attention on the figure's silhouette. The monochromatic, earthy tone of the ink against the paper provides a sombre quality, aligning with the emotional weight of the subject matter.\n\nAs a graphic artist, de Mesquita was known for his technical precision and his ability to distil complex human emotions into simplified, graphic forms. This work reflects the influence of the Symbolist movement, where the aim was to represent subjective states of mind rather than objective reality. The figure is not a specific portrait but a universal archetype of human suffering. The starkness of the woodcut process, requiring the artist to carve away the negative space, results in a final image that feels deliberate and controlled. The composition is contained within an arched frame, adding a sense of architectural structure to the scene.

This work, titled Een lamme maraboe, demonstrates his ability to reduce complex organic forms into bold, graphic shapes. The composition relies on a stark contrast between the deep black ink and the cream paper, a hallmark of his approach to printmaking. The marabou stork is depicted with a deliberate, almost geometric simplicity, which emphasises the bird's physical posture and the weight of its form.\n\nDe Mesquita often turned to the animal kingdom for his subjects, observing creatures with a keen eye for their unique silhouettes and movements. In this print, the bird stands within a structured frame, its head bowed and its body rendered as a solid mass. The artist avoids unnecessary detail, choosing instead to focus on the essential lines that define the creature. The inclusion of the title and the date within the lower border integrates the text into the overall design, a common practice in the graphic arts of the early twentieth century. This piece reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock prints, which were widely admired by European artists of the period for their economy of line and flat planes of colour.\n\nAs a teacher at the School of Applied Arts in Haarlem, de Mesquita influenced a generation of artists, including M.C.

His work is characterised by a technical precision that allows the grain of the wood to occasionally inform the texture of the print.

(Vrouw in schommelstoel) - Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking 1913 woodcut by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, featuring a woman in a rocking chair rendered in bold, minimalist silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis woodcut by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, dated 1913, demonstrates the artist's mastery of the graphic medium. The composition relies on the stark contrast between the solid black silhouette of a woman seated in a rocking chair and the textured, linear background. De Mesquita employs a reductive approach, stripping away extraneous detail to focus on the profile and posture of the figure. The background, rendered with vertical striations, suggests a wooden interior, providing a rhythmic counterpoint to the stillness of the subject.\n\nDe Mesquita was a prominent figure in the Dutch graphic arts scene during the early twentieth century. His work often explored the tension between decorative pattern and representational form. In this piece, the chair and the figure merge into a single, unified shape, creating a sense of quietude. The woodcut technique is evident in the visible grain and the deliberate way the artist carved the negative space, allowing the paper to define the light source. This print is a clear example of his ability to convey character through minimal visual information, a hallmark of his broader body of work in printmaking and design.\n\nAs a teacher and artist, de Mesquita influenced many, including M.C. Escher. His prints are noted for their technical precision and their adherence to the principles of the graphic arts, where the relationship between black ink and white paper is the primary concern. This specific work captures a domestic moment, yet the treatment is formal and detached, avoiding sentimentality in favour of structural clarity. It remains a representative example of his output from the pre-war period, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of the time while maintaining a distinct, individual style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv

- Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking woodcut print of a resting blesbok, rendered with high-contrast forms and precise, rhythmic hatching by Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamuel Jessurun de Mesquita was a Dutch graphic artist known for his mastery of the woodcut medium. His work often focused on the natural world, particularly animals, which he rendered with a distinct sense of graphic economy and structural clarity. This print of a blesbok displays his characteristic approach to form and negative space. The animal is depicted in a resting position, contained within a stark, oval-shaped ground that separates the subject from the surrounding dark field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita utilised the woodcut technique to create high-contrast imagery. He employed precise, rhythmic hatching to define the musculature and texture of the blesbok's coat, while the horns are delineated with sharp, rhythmic marks that suggest their ridged structure. The composition is deliberately flattened, prioritising the silhouette and the interplay between the light-coloured ground and the dark, solid mass of the animal. By stripping away extraneous detail, the artist directs the viewer's attention to the essential geometry of the creature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout his career, de Mesquita remained dedicated to the graphic arts, producing numerous prints that explored the expressive potential of black and white. His style is marked by a balance between observation and stylisation.

This work, titled Paradijsvogel, demonstrates his ability to reduce complex organic forms into essential graphic elements. The bird of paradise is rendered with a focus on the texture of its plumage, using precise, rhythmic incisions to suggest the weight and drape of the feathers. By employing a stark, high-contrast palette, de Mesquita isolates the subject against a dark background, forcing the viewer to engage with the silhouette and the linear patterns that define the bird's anatomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita often turned to the natural world for his subjects, frequently observing animals at the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. His approach was not one of strict scientific documentation, but rather an exploration of the decorative potential inherent in animal forms. The composition is balanced and deliberate, with the bird perched centrally on a horizontal branch. The long, trailing tail feathers are depicted with a series of fine, repetitive marks that create a sense of vertical movement, contrasting with the stillness of the bird's body. This print reflects the artist's interest in the graphic possibilities of the woodcut medium, where the removal of material from the block dictates the final image. The result is a work that feels both modern in its simplicity and timeless in its observation of nature.

De Mesquita was a prominent Dutch graphic artist, known for his precise control over the woodblock and his ability to reduce animal forms to their essential, rhythmic qualities. In this depiction of a stork, the artist employs a stark contrast between black and white to define the bird's form against its nest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on the interplay of textures. The vertical lines of the background suggest a wooden structure or fence, while the chaotic, intersecting lines of the nest provide a sense of depth and physical reality. The stork itself is rendered with simplified, bold shapes, focusing on the silhouette and the characteristic curve of the neck. De Mesquita avoids unnecessary detail, choosing instead to emphasise the structural integrity of the subject. His approach to the woodcut medium is direct, allowing the grain and the physical act of carving to inform the final image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita's work often focused on the natural world, particularly animals, which he observed with a keen eye for character and movement.

The composition centres on a female figure, rendered with a directness that avoids unnecessary ornamentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita employs a technique that emphasises the texture of the medium. The background is filled with dense, dark hatching, which pushes the lighter, unworked areas of the figure forward.

The artist, a Dutch graphic designer and printmaker, demonstrates his command of tonal variation and line. The subject is depicted from the chest up, wrapped in a shawl that features a subtle, repeating decorative pattern. De Mesquita employs a soft, almost ethereal application of ink, allowing the texture of the paper to contribute to the overall composition.

This etching of cyclamen demonstrates his ability to manipulate light and shadow through the medium of the metal plate. The composition focuses on the contrast between the pale, delicate petals of the flowers and the dark, textured background. By using fine lines and cross-hatching, de Mesquita creates a sense of volume in the leaves and petals, giving the plant a tangible presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita often drew inspiration from the natural world, observing flora and fauna with a clinical yet appreciative eye. His approach to botanical subjects avoids sentimentality, favouring instead a structural analysis of form. The dark, atmospheric background serves to push the flowers forward, creating a stark visual separation that draws the viewer into the details of the plant. The artist's signature style, often characterised by a disciplined use of line, is evident here in the way he defines the edges of the leaves and the curvature of the stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the broader European interest in printmaking during the early twentieth century, where artists sought to explore the expressive potential of black and white media. De Mesquita's work remains a clear example of his technical skill, particularly in his control of the etching process to achieve varying degrees of tone. The print captures the specific character of the cyclamen, from the heart-shaped leaves to the swept-back petals, without unnecessary ornamentation. It is a study in balance, where the density of the background provides the necessary weight to support the lighter, more ethereal elements of the composition.

This print, titled Aronskelk, depicts a calla lily through a lens of stark reduction and tonal contrast.

The artist uses heavy, gestural marks to build up the shadows, creating a sense of weight that contrasts with the smooth, organic curves of the plant. This technique draws attention to the negative space, allowing the silhouette of the flower to emerge with clarity.

His approach to the woodcut medium often involved a reduction of form to its essential geometric components.

This print captures the essence of his style, where the economy of mark-making allows the viewer to focus on the expressive quality of the subject. The inclusion of smaller, peripheral faces suggests a narrative or a dreamlike state, inviting the viewer to consider the relationships between the figures.

This work, titled 'Fantasie', demonstrates his ability to manipulate light and shadow to create an unsettling, dreamlike atmosphere. The composition features two figures on the left, wearing distinctive caps, facing towards the right. Opposite them stands a figure rendered with a feathered appearance, created through a scratching technique that contrasts with the solid, dark forms of the other subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita often explored themes of the grotesque and the fantastic. His work frequently features distorted human forms and animalistic features, which suggest a preoccupation with the subconscious. The stark contrast between the black ink and the paper surface creates a sense of depth and tension. The lines are bold and expressive, reflecting the artist's interest in the graphic potential of the medium rather than strict anatomical accuracy. The figures appear to exist in a space that is neither fully defined nor entirely abstract, allowing the viewer to project their own interpretations onto the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a teacher at the School of Applied Arts in Haarlem, de Mesquita influenced a generation of artists, including M.C.

This piece is representative of his later graphic output, where he moved away from more traditional subjects to embrace a more personal, symbolic visual language. The texture of the feathered figure is particularly notable, showing his technical skill in varying the density of his marks to suggest different materials and surfaces.

De Mesquita employs a limited palette of black and the natural tone of the paper, using the negative space to define the form of the head.

This lithograph, dated 1920, demonstrates his ability to manipulate light and shadow to create a sense of psychological weight. The figure is seated, rendered with a focus on form rather than anatomical precision. The artist employs a textured, grainy application of ink, which gives the background a dense, atmospheric quality. This contrast between the dark, heavy surroundings and the lighter, illuminated body of the subject creates a silhouette effect that draws the eye to the centre of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita often explored the human form through a lens of stark simplification. In this work, the subject is depicted with stockings, a detail that adds a specific, grounded element to an otherwise abstracted representation. The lines are not defined by sharp contours but rather by the interplay of tonal values. This approach reflects the broader European interest in expressive printmaking during the early twentieth century, where the medium allowed for a directness that painting sometimes lacked. The artist avoids unnecessary detail, choosing instead to focus on the posture and the mood of the sitter. The result is a work that feels both immediate and timeless, capturing a quiet, contemplative moment. As a practitioner of the graphic arts, de Mesquita utilised the limitations of the lithographic stone to his advantage, creating a surface that feels tactile and deliberate. This print offers a clear view into his technical process and his preference for bold, monochromatic compositions that rely on the balance of light and dark to convey presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/naakte-vrouw-nude-woman-meijer-bleekrode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNaakte vrouw (Nude Woman) - Meijer Bleekrode — Meijer Bleekrode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/at-the-window-ii-karl-hofer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAt the Window II - Karl Hofer — Karl Hofer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58349573538127,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58349629964623,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58349629997391,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58349630030159,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58349630062927,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58349630095695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58349630128463,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58349630161231,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58349630193999,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58349630226767,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58349630259535,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58349630292303,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Zittend-vrouwelijk-naakt-met-kousen-aan_Poster_CompositorV1_1785417421438.jpg?v=1785417729"},{"product_id":"frontaal-gezien-zittend-naakt-in-geometrische-omgeving-samuel-jessurun-de-mesquita","title":"Frontaal gezien, zittend naakt in geometrische omgeving - Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking lithograph by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, featuring a seated nude figure framed by geometric patterns and stark, symbolic forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamuel Jessurun de Mesquita, a Dutch graphic artist, produced this lithograph during a period when his work often explored the intersection of human form and rigid, symbolic geometry.

The artist, a Dutch graphic designer and printmaker, is known for his mastery of line and tone. In this portrait, he employs a soft, granular texture characteristic of the lithographic process to build form and shadow. The woman wears a beret, which frames her face and directs the viewer's attention to her gaze. Her expression is subtle, conveying a sense of distance and contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita often explored the psychological dimensions of his subjects. Here, the composition is focused on the interplay between light and dark, with the artist using varying degrees of pressure to create depth. The background remains largely unadorned, ensuring that the focus stays on the figure. The edges of the print show a slight darkening, which adds a frame-like quality to the work and draws the eye inward toward the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a teacher at the School of Applied Arts in Haarlem, de Mesquita influenced many artists, including M.C. Escher. His own work frequently utilised bold, graphic shapes, yet this portrait demonstrates a more delicate, atmospheric approach to character study. The use of a neutral, warm-toned paper provides a grounding for the charcoal-like marks of the lithographic ink. This piece is a fine example of early twentieth-century Dutch printmaking, reflecting a period where artists moved away from strict realism toward more evocative, personal interpretations of the human form. The print remains a clear demonstration of the artist's technical control and his ability to capture a fleeting mood through simple, effective mark-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-return-of-the-flame-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Return of the Flame - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/a-night-at-saint-jean-man-ray\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Night at Saint Jean - Man Ray — Man Ray\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58350168113487,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58350203502927,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58350203535695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58350203568463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58350203601231,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58350203633999,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58350203666767,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58350203699535,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58350203732303,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58350203765071,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58350203797839,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58350203830607,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Vrouw-met-baret_Poster_CompositorV1_1785422383081.jpg?v=1785422980"},{"product_id":"jaapje-met-cape-samuel-jessurun-de-mesquita","title":"Jaapje met cape - Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking woodcut portrait by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, featuring a young boy in a hooded cape rendered in bold, high-contrast black and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis striking woodcut by the Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita depicts a young boy, known as Jaapje, wrapped in a dark, hooded cape. The composition relies on a stark contrast between the solid black ink and the unprinted paper, a technique that defines much of the artist's graphic output. By stripping away unnecessary detail, de Mesquita focuses the viewer on the silhouette and the expressive, simplified features of the child's face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita was a master of the woodcut medium, often employing bold, flat areas of colour to create graphic impact. This work reflects the influence of the Art Nouveau movement, particularly in its clean lines and the deliberate, decorative framing of the subject. The figure stands within a rounded arch, a common motif in his prints that provides a sense of enclosure and focus. The boy's posture is casual, yet the heavy, dark mass of the cape gives the image a weight and presence that belies its small scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a graphic artist, de Mesquita was known for his ability to capture character through minimal means. His work often explored the tension between abstraction and representation. In this print, the cape becomes a geometric form, while the face remains the singular point of human connection.

His work often focused on animal subjects, rendered with a distinct sense of economy and graphic clarity. This print, Sneeuwuil, demonstrates his ability to reduce a complex natural form into a series of bold, rhythmic shapes. The snowy owl is depicted in profile, its head turned slightly, with the plumage suggested through controlled, repetitive marks that follow the contours of the bird's body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on a stark contrast between the dark, solid background and the light, unprinted paper of the owl. De Mesquita avoids unnecessary detail, choosing instead to focus on the essential geometry of the subject. The horizontal lines that frame the owl provide a sense of stability, grounding the figure within the rectangular space. This approach reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock printing, which was a significant interest for many European artists during the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita's technique involves precise carving, where the white areas are cut away to leave the dark ink to define the form.

This work, titled Voor de spiegel, demonstrates his ability to reduce a scene to its essential graphic components. The composition features a woman viewed from behind, adjusting her hair while observing her reflection in a mirror. The artist employs a stark contrast between the dark, solid areas of the figure's skirt and the lighter, textured background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita uses bold, simplified lines to define the form of the corset and the posture of the subject. The reflection in the mirror provides a psychological dimension, capturing the gaze of the woman as she looks back at herself. This focus on the act of self-reflection is a common theme in turn-of-the-century European art, yet de Mesquita approaches it with a distinct stylistic economy. The woodcut technique is evident in the deliberate way the artist carves out the negative space, creating a flat, decorative effect that aligns with the aesthetic principles of the Art Nouveau period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than attempting a realistic rendering of light and shadow, the artist relies on the interplay of black ink against the paper tone. The vertical lines of the corset and the surrounding architectural elements provide a rhythmic structure to the image. This print reflects the artist's interest in Japanese woodblock prints, which often utilised similar methods of simplification and bold outlines. The result is a balanced, graphic image that prioritises form and pattern over narrative detail.

This work, titled Ornament met cirkel en kruis, demonstrates his precise approach to composition and geometric form.

The central motif features a cross intersected by a circular frame, creating a structured, symmetrical arrangement that draws the eye toward the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita often employed a stark, high-contrast aesthetic in his prints. Here, the use of solid black areas against the cream-coloured paper creates a bold visual rhythm. The inclusion of fine, parallel lines within the cross and the circular segments adds a layer of texture to the otherwise flat, graphic shapes. These linear details provide a sense of movement, contrasting with the static nature of the primary geometric forms.

The work is divided into two distinct rectangular frames, each containing stylised profiles oriented towards the right.

By isolating these profiles within rigid borders, de Mesquita invites the viewer to consider the interplay between the subjects and their confined environments. The work remains a clear example of his technical rigour and his interest in the psychological weight of the human profile, stripped of unnecessary detail and reduced to its most potent visual components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/naakte-vrouw-nude-woman-meijer-bleekrode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNaakte vrouw (Nude Woman) - Meijer Bleekrode — Meijer Bleekrode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blumen-auf-weiss-zyklamen-und-hyazinthe-gabriele-munter\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBlumen auf Weiß (Zyklamen und Hyazinthe) - Gabriele Münter — Gabriele Münter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58351021130063,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58351134867791,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58351134900559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58351134933327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58351134966095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58351134998863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58351135031631,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58351135064399,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58351135097167,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58351135129935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58351135162703,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58351135195471,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Fantasie_-twee-kaders-in-elk-een-profiel-naar-rechts_Poster_CompositorV1_1785429645890.jpg?v=1785430832"},{"product_id":"gemaskerde-vrouw-met-cape-samuel-jessurun-de-mesquita","title":"Gemaskerde vrouw met cape - Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking woodcut portrait by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, featuring a masked figure in a patterned cape, rendered in high-contrast black and natural paper tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamuel Jessurun de Mesquita was a Dutch graphic artist known for his mastery of the woodcut medium. This work, titled Gemaskerde vrouw met cape, displays the stylistic characteristics of the turn of the century. The composition relies on the stark contrast between black ink and the natural tone of the paper, a technique that defines his graphic output. The figure wears a mask and a hooded cape, both decorated with flowing, organic patterns that echo the aesthetic of the Art Nouveau period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Mesquita often utilised bold, flat areas of black to create form, allowing the negative space of the paper to define the highlights and contours of the subject. The mask serves to obscure the identity of the sitter, shifting the focus toward the decorative quality of the garments and the rhythmic lines of the woodcut carving. The artist's signature monogram is visible in the upper right corner, a common feature in his prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece demonstrates the artist's interest in the graphic potential of the woodblock. By simplifying the visual information into high-contrast shapes, he achieves a balance between representation and pattern. The figure sits in a quiet, contemplative pose, with hands clasped, which contrasts with the busy, decorative surface of the cape. This print offers a clear example of the Dutch graphic tradition at the start of the twentieth century, where artists moved away from realistic shading toward a more stylised, linear approach.
