Man met gesloten ogen Possibly 1943

"Man met gesloten ogen" (Man with Closed Eyes) is a 1943 ink drawing by Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. The work is notable for its stylized and expressive lines that create a sense of depth and movement. The subject, a man with closed eyes, is depicted in a dynamic and abstract manner, reflecting Mesquita's interest in both realism and the exploration of form. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, demonstrates his unique artistic style that blended elements of Expressionism and Art Nouveau, making it a significant piece in his oeuvre.
