Vrouw met baret 1920

"Vrouw met baret" (Woman with Beret), a 1920 lithograph by Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, depicts a woman in a beret, seen from the chest up. The work is characterized by its soft, expressive lines and the use of shading to convey the form and texture of the subject. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner of the print. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This intimate portrait is a striking example of Jessurun de Mesquita's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects through his unique artistic style.
