Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita: Woman in Front of a Mirror (c. 1890s) Dutch Art Print

Bring the stark, sophisticated beauty of the Dutch avant-garde into your home. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita’s Woman in Front of a Mirror, a striking study in light, shadow, and form.

In the late 1890s, de Mesquita was revolutionizing the graphic arts in the Netherlands. This piece is a masterclass in the economy of line. By reducing the female form to a series of powerful silhouettes—the vertical lacing of the corset, the heavy mass of the skirt—he creates a sense of monumental weight and quiet drama. The reflection in the mirror provides a haunting counterpoint, offering a glimpse into the subject's inner world. It is easy to see why de Mesquita was the primary influence on his student, M.C. Escher; his ability to find geometric order and rhythmic repetition in the human figure laid the groundwork for the modern graphic movement.

Original de Mesquita woodcuts are prized for their velvety blacks and crisp, architectural whites. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the 'bite' of the original woodblock and the subtle textures of the vintage paper. Printed on 100% cotton rag, acid-free matte paper, it ensures the stark contrasts and psychological depth of the original remain a powerful focal point in your space.

A sophisticated Statement Piece for a minimalist bedroom, a chic dressing area, or a professional design studio. This de Mesquita Print is an exceptional gift for lovers of graphic design, Dutch history, and monochromatic fine art.
