Twee sneeuwhazen 1911

"Twee sneeuwhazen" (Two Snow Hares) is a woodcut print created in 1911 by the Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. The artwork depicts two white hares nestled together against a dark, textured background. This striking black and white composition utilizes bold lines and simple forms, characteristic of de Mesquita's style, which was influenced by Japanese woodblock prints.
