19th Century
Behold the mighty face of Jupiter, rendered by Henri van der Stok not as a classical marble bust but as a bold, graphic woodcut. Part of the 'Masks of Planets' series (Maskers van planeten serie), this piece transforms the Roman king of gods into a geometric Art Deco icon with a fierce, staring gaze and a flowing, stylized beard. While the provided context suggests the 19th century, the sharp angles and the date '/32' in the corner place this firmly in the 1930s. The symbol on the chin appears to be a stylized version of Jupiter's astrological sign (♃), blending ancient myth with modern graphic design.
