Boy with Grandfather. Signed and dated by the artist.

An idyllic image of a grandfather warmly dressed in fur, escorting his grandson to synagogue Sabbath Eve, through snowy streets lined with houses displaying Sabbath candles in windows. Marcin Gottlieb (1867-1936) was a younger brother of the celebrated artist Maurycy Gottlieb. They were members of a wealthy Polish-Jewish family in which all five sons grew to be practicing artists.
