Скачать или смотреть A Child, A Tradition: The Portrait of a Young Boy with Peyot by Isidor Kaufmann

Have you ever seen a child’s gaze so deep, it feels like he carries centuries of tradition within his eyes?

This is Portrait of a Young Boy with Peyot, painted by the Hungarian-Jewish artist Isidor Kaufmann in the late 19th century. Though the boy’s name is unknown, he represents far more than an individual—he embodies the spiritual resilience of an entire generation raised in Central Europe’s Orthodox Jewish communities.

His peyot—the traditional side curls—are symbols of faith, devotion, and identity. Kaufmann often traveled to Jewish villages to preserve these sacred images before modernity and assimilation began to erase them.

Today, this masterpiece remains in private collections, but Kaufmann’s works can also be found in the Jewish Museum in New York and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, where they continue to inspire admiration for Jewish heritage and timeless artistry.
