Zelfportret met bril en sik 1930

"Zelfportret met bril en sik" (Self-Portrait with Glasses and Goatee) is a 1930 woodcut by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, a Dutch-Jewish artist known for his expressive black and white prints. The stark contrast between the black and white of the artwork creates a dramatic effect, emphasizing the sharp features of the artist's face and the prominent glasses and goatee. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a classic example of de Mesquita's distinctive style, characterized by its simplified forms and bold lines.
