"Zebu" is a notable work by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (1868–1944), a Dutch graphic artist and teacher known for his wide-ranging artistic oeuvre that includes woodcuts, etchings, and drawings. De Mesquita was a prominent figure in the Amsterdam art scene and is often remembered for his influence on his more famous student, M.C. Escher. "Zebu," which is one of de Mesquita's distinctive works, exemplifies his skill in woodcut technique and his fascination with exotic and natural subjects.

The artwork "Zebu" is characterized by its stylized depiction of the humped cattle known as zebu, which are native to South Asia. De Mesquita's representation of the zebu is notable for its bold lines and the interplay of light and shadow, a technique that enhances the form and texture of the animal. The composition of the piece, with its attention to detail and the use of negative space, reflects de Mesquita's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a unique artistic vision.

While the exact date of creation for "Zebu" is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during the early 20th century, a period in which de Mesquita created many of his significant works. The woodcut serves as an example of de Mesquita's contributions to the field of printmaking and his exploration of themes related to nature and the animal kingdom.

Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita's work, including "Zebu," gained renewed interest after his death in the Holocaust in 1944. His legacy is preserved through his surviving works and the influence he had on his pupils, particularly Escher, who helped bring de Mesquita's art to a wider audience posthumously. "Zebu" remains an important piece within de Mesquita's body of work, showcasing his artistic talent and the cultural influences that shaped his creative output.
