Man met een pen in de hand en een figuur met een hoed Possibly 1943

This ink drawing by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, likely created in 1943, depicts a figure with a hat holding a pen. The artist, known for his expressive linework, uses intricate hatching and cross-hatching to create a sense of depth and volume. The composition, with its dynamic lines and overlapping forms, evokes a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Jessurun de Mesquita's style. This drawing exemplifies the artist's fascination with the human figure and his skillful use of line to convey both form and emotion. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his mastery of pen and ink.
