Twee maraboes c. 1914

"Twee maraboes" (c. 1914) is a woodcut by the Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (1868-1944) depicting two marabou storks against a backdrop of striped trees. The artwork is known for its bold lines and graphic style, which is characteristic of Jessurun de Mesquita's work. The artist's use of black and white creates a dramatic and evocative atmosphere, and the birds' distinctive features are rendered with meticulous detail. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
