Print of a very thin Jew wooing a very fat lady

The Katz Ehrenthal Collection is a collection of more than 900 objects depicting Jews and antisemitic and anti-Jewish propaganda from the medieval to the modern era, in Europe, Russia, and the United States. The collection was amassed by Peter Ehrenthal, a Romanian Holocaust survivor, to document the pervasive history of anti-Jewish hatred in Western art, politics and popular culture. It includes crude folk art as well as pieces created by Europe's finest craftsmen, prints and periodical illustrations, posters, paintings, decorative art, and toys and everyday household items decorated with depictions of stereotypical Jewish figures. 

The etching was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2016 by the Katz Family.

Color print of an engraving of a corpulent gentile woman seated in an armchair with a blue backrest next to a very skinny, kneeling man. Her eyes, nose, and mouth are petit and she wears a white mobcap and a white dress with a red sash. She faces right with her eyes closed, cheeks flushed, and lips puckered. The man holds her left arm in both hands and simpers up at her. He has stereotypical Jewish features, including thick eyebrows, hooded eyes, a large nose, and large lips, and wears a Georgian style wig, blue suit, white socks, and black shoes. The print has a blue background, yellow border, and a caption in a panel at the bottom.
