Joodse dokter 1555 - 1568

"Joodse dokter" (Jewish Doctor) is an engraving created by Léon Davent between 1555 and 1568. It depicts a Jewish man in traditional clothing, including a tall hat and long robe. The engraving was likely created as part of a series of images depicting different professions or social groups. Davent, born in 1540 and tragically passing in 1556, was known for his detailed depictions of figures and costumes. This work provides a glimpse into the life of a Jewish doctor in the 16th century and reflects the growing interest in depicting different cultures during that time. The artwork's small dimensions, 270 mm in height and 172 mm in width, suggest it was intended for a private collection.
