A Jewish Money-Changer

A Jewish Money-Changer is a painting created by Jean Baptiste Vanmour between 1700 and 1737. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum. The painting measures 30.5 cm in width and 39.5 cm in height. The artwork depicts a man, possibly a Jewish money-changer, standing in what appears to be a doorway or hallway. He is wearing a long, grey robe, a dark-colored outer garment, a white turban, and a belt with what looks like a small chain or fob hanging from it. His expression is serious, and his beard is neatly trimmed. The background is dark and somewhat indistinct, focusing attention on the figure.
