Borstbeeld van een Joodse priester 1722 - 1774

"Borstbeeld van een Joodse priester" (Bust of a Jewish Priest), an etching by Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich, was created between 1722 and 1774. The etching depicts a seated Jewish priest with a long white beard, wearing a fur-lined cap and a robe. The priest's hands are clasped together, and his face is slightly turned to the side, creating an intimate and contemplative mood. Dietrich's use of intricate lines and shading brings a sense of realism to the image, capturing the details of the priest's attire and expression.
