Jewish Women with Oranges
This art postcard features the painting Jewish Woman with Oranges [or as wikipedia calls it Jewess With Oranges] is by the Polish painter Aleksander Gierymski (30 January 1850 - 6th or 8th March 1901). Today the painting is on exhibit at the National Museum of Warsaw.
The painting is an example of art which was looted by the Germans during World War II along with literally countless other art and cultural objects. According to Wikipedia, the painting was found at an art market in Northern Germany and was thankfully returned to Poland only in 2011.
