Descrizione
A striking woodcut by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, depicting a figure in a theatre box through bold, graphic contrasts and simplified forms.
Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita was a Dutch graphic artist known for his mastery of the woodcut medium. This work, titled In de loge, captures a figure seated within the curved confines of a theatre box. The composition relies on the stark contrast between black ink and the natural tone of the paper, a hallmark of the artist's graphic approach. The figure, wearing a top hat and a high-collared garment with puffed sleeves, is depicted in profile. The gaze is directed towards the stage, suggesting a moment of quiet observation.
De Mesquita employed bold, simplified forms to define the subject. The curved lines of the theatre balcony provide a rhythmic backdrop to the static pose of the sitter. The artist utilised the woodcut technique to create flat areas of black, which serve to anchor the figure within the frame. The decorative elements along the balcony railing are rendered with minimal, repetitive marks, adding texture without disrupting the overall graphic clarity of the piece.
This print demonstrates the artist's ability to reduce a scene to its essential components. By focusing on silhouette and line, de Mesquita conveys the atmosphere of the theatre through economy of means. The work reflects the broader interest in graphic experimentation prevalent in the Netherlands at the turn of the twentieth century. It is a study in balance, where the weight of the dark ink is distributed to maintain a sense of equilibrium across the paper surface. The artist's monogram is visible in the lower right corner, a characteristic feature of his signed editions. This print offers a glimpse into the stylistic rigour that defined de Mesquita's career, showing his preference for clear, decisive mark-making over unnecessary detail.

Artist Biography
Samuel Jessurun De Mesquita
After the Nazis deported De Mesquita and his family in February 1944, M.C. Escher went to his teacher's ransacked house and rescued as much of his work as he could. Some of the prints Escher saved still bear the muddy boot prints of German soldiers. De Mesquita, his wife Elisabeth and their son Jaap all died in the camps.
He was born in Amsterdam in 1868, of Portuguese Sephardic Jewish origin. He trained there and was appointed teacher at the School of Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem in 1902, where he remained until 1926. Escher was his most famous student; it was De Mesquita who convinced the young Escher to abandon architecture for graphic arts, a decision that changed twentieth-century visual culture.
De Mesquita produced over four hundred prints, including woodcuts, wood engravings, etchings and lithographs, plus drawings and textile designs. His animal and bird woodcuts, with their stark black-and-white stylisation influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e, are among his most distinctive work. He was not religiously observant despite his Sephardic community background. His wife Elisabeth was gassed alongside him at Auschwitz; their son Jaap perished at Theresienstadt a month later. He died at Auschwitz, around 11 February 1944, at seventy-five.
