Explore the power of reflection and introspection with this striking black and white print of a woman before a mirror by Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. Created in the 1890s, this piece showcases Mesquita's mastery of graphic arts, particularly his skill with woodcuts and etchings. The stark contrasts, bold lines, and intricate details create a powerful and evocative image. The mirror acts as a symbolic device, prompting contemplation on themes of identity, self-perception, and the passage of time. This is perfect for those who appreciate graphic arts, black and white photography, and symbolic imagery.

Escher, however, helped to preserve his artistic legacy even before his wider recognition.
