Portret van Michel Hirsch, rabbijn te Potsdam c. 1773 - 1840

This etching, "Portret van Michel Hirsch, rabbijn te Potsdam", was created by German artist Amalie Baader in the late 18th or early 19th century. The artwork depicts a bust-length portrait of Rabbi Michel Hirsch, a prominent Jewish religious leader, wearing a traditional fur hat. Baader's detailed rendering captures Hirsch's dignified expression and the texture of his clothing, highlighting the importance of religious figures in 19th-century society. The small scale of the artwork, measuring only 127 mm in height and 108 mm in width, suggests its creation as a personal or private commission.
