Dromedaris 1912

"Dromedaris" is a woodcut print created in 1912 by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. The work depicts a black silhouette of a camel resting against a patterned background, suggesting a simple yet powerful visual composition. The artist's distinct style, known for its graphic simplicity and bold lines, showcases a minimalist approach to animal representation. The image evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and isolation, characteristic of Jessurun de Mesquita's artistic vision. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the artist's innovative approach to woodcut printing and his exploration of graphic design.
