Self-portrait with glasses and goatee (Zelfportret met bril en sik) (1930) by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. Giclee Print on Museum Quality Matte Paper. Premium Wood Framed Wall Art.

Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita's "Self-portrait with Glasses and Goatee" (1930) is a striking example of the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of his own persona through the medium of printmaking. De Mesquita, a Dutch artist of Portuguese-Jewish descent, was a prominent figure in the early 20th-century art scene, renowned for his intricate prints and profound influence on his students, including the famous M.C. Escher.

Born in 1868 in Amsterdam, de Mesquita lived through a period of great social and political upheaval, which profoundly impacted his artistic vision. His work is characterized by a blend of Art Nouveau and Symbolism, often exploring themes of identity, nature, and the human condition. In this self-portrait, de Mesquita employs a meticulous technique of etching, using fine lines and contrasts to convey his introspective gaze and the intricate details of his facial features.

The philosophical underpinnings of de Mesquita's work often revolve around introspection and the exploration of self, a reflection of his own life experiences and the turbulent times he lived in. The self-portrait is a testament to his ability to convey depth and complexity through simplicity, capturing not just a likeness but an essence. This piece, held in high regard, is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, serving as a poignant reminder of de Mesquita's enduring legacy and tragic fate during the Holocaust.
