SAMUEL JESSURUN DE MESQUITA
Dutch, (1868-1944)
Etching, 1924, Van Es 97; three impressions known. 9 3/4 x 6 3/4 in. Signed in pencil. This is a superb impression with full margins. The condition is fine. This is a very nice example of Mesquita's "sensitivic" caricature etching style which began about 1910 and lasted until 1940. He produced these works in small editions and they were done primarily for fun but they also often have mystical and religious overtones and are ripe with social commentary. They are unique in the history of Dutch art and are an important aspect of Mesquita's graphic work. SOLD
