"Femme Juive, en habit de cèrèmonie" is an engraving by Jean Baptiste Vanmour from his series "Recueil de cent estampes représentent differentes nations du Levant." The 1714-15 etching depicts a Jewish woman in ceremonial garb, seated on a cushion and draped in a fur coat. She wears a cap with a plume and elaborately patterned dress. This print is one of a hundred representing people from the Levant, created as a record of cultural diversity. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
