He taught graphic arts at the Academy for Visual Arts in Amsterdam; his pupils included M. C. Escher. De Mesquita and his family died in the Holocaust. His work is characterised by a simplified, almost abstract style, often depicting animals, figures, and scenes from nature. His use of line and form is economical, yet expressive. 'Brahmaanse zebu' (1915) is a lithograph depicting a zebu, a type of domestic cattle common in South Asia. The animal is shown in profile against a simple background of horizontal and vertical lines, perhaps representing a fence or wall. The zebu's form is rendered with careful attention to its distinctive features, such as the hump on its back and the dewlap beneath its neck. The colour palette is muted, with tones of grey, brown, and cream, creating a serene and contemplative mood. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tree-of-hope-remain-strong-frida-kahlo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTree of Hope, Remain Strong - Frida Kahlo — Frida Kahlo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/a-night-at-saint-jean-man-ray\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Night at Saint Jean - Man Ray — Man Ray\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57762580431183,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57762588229967,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57762588262735,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57762588295503,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57762588328271,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Brahmaanse-zebu_Poster_CompositorV1_1779499821064.jpg?v=1779502578","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/brahmaanse-zebu-samuel-jessurun-de-mesquita","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
