Private collection, Boca Raton
Acquired from the estate of the above by the present owner

Oil on beveled panel. The surface is clean and fresh aside from minor scattered areas of pigment separation visible to the naked eye. There is a fleck of gold frame paint at the center right edge and scattered along the lower edge. There is a small loss in the extreme upper right corner. Under UV light, the varnish fluoresces green and obscures the majority of the picture surface. There are a few, small older spots of retouching in the Rabbi's shawl and a few areas in which retouching to the pigment separation is visible. Framed, in overall good condition and ready to hang.
