Portrait of Rabbi Yehuda Aryeh Leib son of R. David – Rabbi of the Ashkenazi Community in Amsterdam, 18th Century
Portrait of R. Yehuda Aryeh Leib son of R. David (of Kalisch). Engraving, possibly by Jacob Folkema. [Amsterdam, ca. 1710].
Hebrew inscription surrounding the portrait: "Portrait of the prominent… R. Aryeh Yehuda Leib son of R. David, rabbi and dean of the Ashkenazi community in Amsterdam… passed away on 7th Kislev 1709". Beneath his portrait, a lion is depicted within a shield topped with a crown, captioned "Aryeh DeBei Ila'i". Rhyming text in his memory flanks the shield.
R. Yehuda Aryeh Leib son of R. David (d. 1709) served for 22 years as rabbi and dean in Lobsens (Łobżenica, Poland). He later moved to Kremsier (Kroměříž; present day: Czech Republic) and Kalisch, and became known as R. Leib Kalisch. He was appointed rabbi of the Ashkenazi community in Amsterdam in 1708.
Artist's signature in lower margin, to the right, and additional signature in Hebrew on the left (in the plate).
If the assumption regarding the identity of the engraver who produced the present portrait is correct, this would be one of his early works.
Approx. 35X24 cm. Overall good condition. Stains. Tears, professionally restored.
Provenance: The Gross Family Collection, Tel Aviv, 112.011.042.
Rare.
