Gift of Roger-David Katz and his wife Louba Moscicka, Brussels

In this view of rooftops and chimneys, a clothesline is visible, hung with two black gloves. In the background, the branches of treetops can be seen. This is the view that Nussbaum saw from his studio on the Rue Archimède in Brussels. The artist painted a number of works based on the studio theme, one of his favorites while living in Rome, and during his studies in Berlin.

In memory of Yitzhak Tabolicki and his wife Guitele Katz; Leon Katz, his wife Irene Temkin and their daughter Esther; Lazare Goldstein, his wife Mala Katz and their children Harry and Dora; Eva Katz and her family; Nathan Schwartz, and Feigl Moscicka and her children.
