Color print of an old Jew inviting a young woman to dine

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

Color lithograph print depicting a richly dressed, bald man with a large nose, fleshy lips, and a beard seated at a table set with a tea tray on the left. To his right, a young, dark skinned African servant in uniform has drawn out a chair and the man points at it, inviting an attractive, young woman to join him. She is in left profile and wears a low cut black dress with a full skirt and sleeves, and a gauzy white apron. Her hands are in a muff and her brown hair is piled high beneath a white scarf. To her right, an older, narrow-faced woman on a sofa wears a fur-trimmed, red robe and frowns as she watches. In the background, there are 2 paintings depicting biblical seduction scenes and an elaborately framed mirror. The title and publication information are printed along the bottom.
