Explanatory note

  • Dit portret is lange tijd beschouwd als de beeltenis van de Joodse Samuel Menasseh ben Israel (1604-1657), wiens vader met zijn gezin uit Spanje was uitgeweken en sinds 1616 in Amsterdam woonde. A.K. Offenberg (Menasseh-ben-Israel, een biografische schets, Amsterdam 2000) betwist deze identificatie.
