"Betsie bij het raam" (Betsie by the Window) is a c. 1920 lithograph by Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (1868–1944). It depicts a woman, likely the artist's wife, Betsie, seen in profile against a background of a window and foliage. De Mesquita’s distinctive style, with its use of thick, hatched lines, creates a sense of depth and texture. This intimate portrait is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
