Click-to-enlarge image available from here (Bing translation).While 2 of his paintings are shown online at this painting’s current-location, Jew with a Goose is not. Starting at the bottom of this page, this online book discusses the painting and its motivation; Wikipedia’s History of the Jews in Romania also uses the image. @underwriter (Thank you!!) has already pointed to the artist’s Wikipedia page and indirectly collection (more under the Subcategories).So far, 2 works by this artist have appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog.
