Profiel met hoed en masker c. 1899

Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita’s “Profiel met hoed en masker” (c. 1899) is a woodcut print depicting a woman in profile wearing a large hat and a masquerade mask. The artwork is characterized by its bold, black lines and graphic simplicity, which are typical of the artist's distinctive style. The print is a powerful example of the influence of Art Nouveau on Dutch graphic arts, and it is a testament to de Mesquita's skill as a printmaker. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
