Official habits of Rabbi and Cantor Rabbis

Official habits of Rabbi and Cantor as introduced by the Beden Oberrat der Israeliten (Central Council of Jews) in 1843. The distinction of the Rabbi is expressed in his wearing a silk mantle over his wool coat and a white double collar, representing the tablets of Moses.

Portrait of a Man

A bust view of a man about 30 - 40 years, wearing a black coat and three-cornered hat, a wig, lace shirt front and cuffs. He is shown against a light blue sky with a suggestion of mountains on his right and cypress trees on the left. He is shaven and his attire modern, but his tricorn hat - no no longer fashionable among Christians in the late 18th century- is the mark of an observant Jew.

Portrait of an old Man

Bust of Rabbi with luxuriant white beard wearing a plain black coat and tall black cap. The background is dark-gray. The hair and beard are exquisite, obtained with very fine brushes and textured use of white paint. The psychological study of the face is also unusually high quality.
