Juif, plate 63 from "Recueil de cent estampes représentent differentes nations du Levant" 1714 - 1715

This etching by Jean Baptiste Vanmour, titled "Juif" (meaning Jew in French), is part of a series of prints depicting different cultures of the Levant. Created in 1714-1715, the piece portrays a man in traditional Jewish attire. The meticulous detail of his clothing and the background setting reflects Vanmour's keen observation of cultural dress and the cityscapes of the time. The artist's focus on capturing the essence of everyday life in the Levant, and especially the Jewish community, offers a glimpse into historical perspectives on ethnicity and faith.
