"Jerusalem, Cote de la Porte de Jaffe" is a 19th-century painting by the French Orientalist painter Charles Théodore Frère, also known as Théodore Frère (1814–1888). Frère was renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of Middle Eastern landscapes and scenes, which he painted following his extensive travels in the region. This particular work translates to "Jerusalem, View of the Jaffa Gate" in English and captures a view of one of the most famous entry points into the Old City of Jerusalem.

The Jaffa Gate, or Hebron Gate, is one of the eight gates in the historic walls of Jerusalem and has been a focal point for pilgrims and travelers for centuries. In "Jerusalem, Cote de la Porte de Jaffe," Frère would have aimed to represent not only the architectural features of the gate and its surroundings but also the vibrant atmosphere and daily life that characterized the area during the period. His work often reflected the Western fascination with the Orient, which was prevalent during the 19th century, and he was particularly adept at capturing the interplay of light and shadow, a skill that would have been employed to great effect in this painting.

The painting would likely be executed in oil on canvas, a medium Frère commonly used, allowing him to achieve rich textures and a depth of color that brought his scenes to life. As with many of his works, the attention to detail in the depiction of local attire, the bustling activity, and the architectural elements would have been based on his keen observations and sketches made during his travels.

"Jerusalem, Cote de la Porte de Jaffe" would be of interest to collectors and scholars of Orientalist art, as well as those with a focus on historical representations of Jerusalem. The work would contribute to the understanding of Western perceptions of the East in the 19th century and the ways in which these perceptions were manifested in art. It would also serve as a visual document of the appearance and cultural milieu of Jerusalem's Jaffa Gate area during that time.

As an artist, Charles Théodore Frère was a member of the Barbizon school and was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1869. His works are held in various collections around the world, including the Louvre in Paris and the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. "Jerusalem, Cote de la Porte de Jaffe" would stand as a testament to his artistic legacy and his contribution to the Orientalist movement in European art.
