This early and important work is from the collection of Mr. Jacob Luttenberg who was a close friend and patron of the artist. Mr. Luttenberg was recognized by Yaacov Herzog in 1952 and again in 1957 for his essential contribution in rescuing Jewish children and helping them escape Poland in 1946 during the horrendous Pogroms against Holocaust survivors returning to their homes after the war.
