Wandelende jood verlaat een vertrek met vier mannen 1785

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's 1785 etching, *Wandelende jood verlaat een vertrek met vier mannen* (Wandering Jew Leaving a Room with Four Men), depicts a scene of social exclusion. The title refers to the Wandering Jew, a figure from medieval folklore condemned to walk the earth until the Second Coming of Christ. Here, the Wandering Jew, dressed in a long coat and hat, is seen exiting a room as four men stand in his path. The etching, now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a powerful visual commentary on anti-Semitism and the prejudice faced by Jewish people in 18th-century Europe.
