Portraits at the Stock Exchange (also known as At the Bourse) is a painting by French artist Edgar Degas. Completed circa 1879 this painting is interpreted as an anti-Semitic depiction of Jews in Paris due especially to the exaggerated features and postures of the subjects. In Europe during the late 19th century there were fears of a financial conspiracy in which Jewish financiers were thought to manipulate business for their gain.
