"Joodse bankiers" (Jewish Bankers), created in 1868 by Charles Rochussen, depicts a scene inside a Jewish banker's office. This watercolor painting portrays a group of figures engaged in various activities. Rochussen's use of muted colors and a detailed depiction of the interior space create a sense of realism. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It is an example of historical genre painting, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Jewish communities in the 19th century.
