拍品專文

In the past this rare figure had been identified as a Dutch woman, but Ron Fuch's discovery of an engraving by Casper Luyken entitled Franckfurther Jud und Judin in the costume book, Neu-eröffnete Welt-Galleria, printed in Nurenburg in 1703, has resulted in a reidentification⁽¹⁾. Due to the striking similarities in the costume, the figure is now thought to be wearing traditional Ashkenazi dress. Similar examples of this large figure can be found in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (accession no. C.94-1963); the British Museum, London (museum no. 1963,0422.11); and the example with her male companion at Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library, Delaware (museum object no. 2000.0061.091).
