Portrait of Yeḥiel Mikhel ben Nathan of Lublin

The rhymed Hebrew inscription below the picture of Yeḥiel Mikhel ben Nathan of Lublin notes that he had formerly been a cantor in Lublin and is presently serving in that role in Amsterdam, in 1699/1700. He is pictured standing in front of the synagogue on Deventer Houtmarkt (later Jonas Daniël Meijerplein).
