Ashkenazi Jew painter Maurycy Gottlieb, bearing a close resemblance to the ancient Semitic graven figure to the left. Notice the gentleman's markedly "Armenoid" facial features (a relic of contact between his Semitic ancestors and outsiders from the Caucasus vicinity), as well as his thick, curly hair. This so-called "Jewfro" is also rather common among Assyrians, another Semitic population inhabiting Mesopotamia.
