"Portret van een man met keppeltje, lang haar en baard" is an etching by G. van Citters from c. 1750-1800. The work depicts a man in an oval frame, wearing a kippah, with long hair and a beard. The use of etching, a printmaking technique that creates lines by using an acid to bite into a metal plate, is typical of the period. The detail of the man's facial features, particularly the eyes, convey a sense of realism. This engraving is a testament to the artistic skill of G. van Citters and provides insight into the representation of Jewish identity in 18th-century art.
