More about this artwork

Titled "Man met een hoge hoed in een weiland" (Man with a High Hat in a Meadow), this intriguing piece by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, dated December 16, 1943, captures an evocative moment of introspection and tranquility. The artwork showcases a central figure, a man adorned with a high, elegant hat that suggests a particular formality juxtaposed within the casual, natural setting of a meadow.The man's closed eyes and serene expression imply a moment of deep contemplation or perhaps peaceful reverie. His headwear casts an elongated shadow over his upper body, creating an interplay of light and texture that draws the viewer's eye toward the gentle smile playing on his lips. In the background, the sketchy outlines of trees on the horizon, along with a clear, open sky, enhance the sense of isolation and introspection.Jessurun de Mesquita's use of soft pencil strokes gives the drawing a subtle depth and a dynamic quality, as if the surrounding environment—the windswept meadow—breathes around the still figure.
