Drie figuren naar rechts en één naar links 1922

“Drie figuren naar rechts en één naar links” (Three figures to the right and one to the left) is a 1922 woodcut by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. The print depicts four figures in profile, rendered in a stark, minimalist style with expressive lines and a focus on the figures' elongated, almost cartoonish forms. This work showcases de Mesquita’s signature style of graphic art, often featuring religious, literary, and historical themes. The piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, is characteristic of his later works, reflecting his interest in exploring human relationships and psychology through evocative visual language.
