More about this artwork

Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita's woodcut print "Hoornuil" from 1915 captures the striking and solemn presence of an eagle-owl perched upon a branch. This artwork, masterfully carved, showcases the detailed and textured patterns of the owl's plumage, arranged in dense, rhythmic lines that emphasize the round and imposing form of the bird. The owl's intense gaze and large eyes dominate the composition, conveying a sense of watchful intelligence.Surrounded by a simple, dark frame, the image contrasts sharply against the light background, drawing attention immediately to the owl as the central figure. "Hoornuil" reflects de Mesquita's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects with bold lines and a profound attention to detail. This woodcut is not just a portrayal of a bird but a powerful representation of nature's majesty, encapsulated through the artist's distinct style.
