Zittend naakt 1917

"Zittend naakt" (1917) is an etching by the Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (1868–1944). The artwork features a seated nude female figure rendered in delicate lines and subtle shading, highlighting de Mesquita's mastery of this printmaking technique. The figure's pose and the simple, yet evocative, setting convey a sense of introspection and vulnerability, characteristic of the artist's exploration of the human form and emotion. This artwork is a testament to de Mesquita's skill as a printmaker and his ability to evoke a sense of realism and emotional depth through the medium of etching. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
