About the Artwork

Taken in Yemen around the 1910s, this rare photograph depicts a group of Jewish men in traditional robes and caps, reclining and socializing in the shaded interior of what may be a communal or domestic space. Their relaxed poses and the surrounding architectural details offer a rare visual record of Jewish life in Yemen during a period of cultural continuity and social isolation under Ottoman and local rule. The scene evokes the deep-rooted traditions and resilience of one of the oldest Jewish communities in the Arab world.
