De bruut Possibly 1926

"De Bruut" is a print created by Dutch artist Hein von Essen (1886-1947), possibly dated to 1926. The artwork features a caricatured depiction of a man with exaggerated facial features and a distressed expression, suggesting a satirical or critical commentary. The use of strong lines and shading creates a dramatic effect, emphasizing the subject's disfigured appearance and conveying a sense of grotesqueness. This print exemplifies von Essen's expressive style, which often focused on exploring human emotions and social commentary through unconventional means.
