Gouache on paper
28.5 x 35.5 cm
Gift of Charles Knoblauch, Brussels

Two people, possibly playing cards, sit in a walled garden. A ladder leans against one wall, near a fruit tree in bloom, under which are scattered sawhorses and buckets. In the background are clotheslines. The blossoming tree symbolizes hope and renewal – which tragically did not reflect the fate of the artist.

In memory of Marcus, David, and Mania Knoblauch; Mordechai and Ethel Wassing, David  Ignace, and Irena Wassing, and the children.
