She died in 1940 and it is made after a photograph is written on the portrait.She was thirteen when her mother died in 1906 and took care of her six brothers and sisters for her father didn't marry again. He was a very strict man and all the schildren were afraid of him, but she stood up for them. They lived in a forge in Zaandam, a city near Amsterdam. I found out that there is one other portrait in the Jewish Museum in Amsterdam. With so many portraits still existing the museum could organize an exhibition.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767720996131691102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037615966379240950.post-70305463594424185262021-06-30T10:04:32.931-04:002021-06-30T10:04:32.931-04:00Hi, is the book still available.
