"Ephraim Bonus, Jewish Physician" is a notable etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1647. The work is a portrait of Ephraim Bueno (1599–1665), a respected Jewish physician and writer who lived in Amsterdam. Bueno, also known as Ephraim Hezekiah Bueno or Ephraim Bonus, was a member of the Sephardic community that had fled the Iberian Peninsula due to religious persecution and found refuge in the more tolerant environment of the Dutch Republic.

The etching, cataloged as Bartsch 278, Hind 226, and Biörklund and Barnard 47-a, showcases Rembrandt's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the character and essence of his subjects. The portrait is a half-length depiction of Bonus, dressed in a cloak and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, indicative of the fashion of the time. He is shown with a thoughtful expression, looking off to the side, which gives the portrait a contemplative and dignified air.

Rembrandt's skillful use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, is evident in this work. The artist's delicate handling of the etching needle creates a range of tones that give depth and volume to the physician's face and attire. The detailed rendering of Bonus's features and the intricate folds of his clothing demonstrate Rembrandt's attention to detail and his ability to convey texture.

The etching of Ephraim Bonus is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural context. It reflects the intellectual and cultural exchanges between Jewish and non-Jewish communities in Amsterdam during the 17th century. The portrait is part of a larger body of work by Rembrandt that includes numerous studies of Jewish subjects, indicating the artist's interest in the Jewish community and his personal connections within it.

Today, "Ephraim Bonus, Jewish Physician" is held in high esteem as an example of Rembrandt's portraiture and is studied for its historical significance as well as its aesthetic qualities. The etching can be found in various museum collections and is frequently included in scholarly discussions of Rembrandt's oeuvre.
