"Meerval" (Catfish) is a brass etching by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita from 1878-1944, now held in the Rijksmuseum. It depicts a catfish in a stylized, almost abstract form, using minimal lines and a simple composition. The etching’s oxidized brass surface adds a layer of depth and texture, reflecting the artist's interest in experimenting with various materials and techniques. Jessurun de Mesquita was known for his unique style that blended traditional printmaking methods with modern artistic sensibilities. The work exhibits the artist's fascination with the natural world, rendered in a simplified and symbolic form.
