Eastern European Jew
Polychrome plaster sculpture.
(A few small chips and minor imperfections).

The figure of the Eastern European Jew is characterised here by his peot (sidelocks), beard, cap and caftan.
This sculpture depicts a Jew imbued with dignity, in stark contrast to the anti-Semitic representations common in Eastern Europe at that time.
Two sculptures are included:
- Muzhik, polychrome plaster sculpture, (a few small chips and imperfections).
Height: 51 cm.
- Figure in uniform, polychrome plaster sculpture (a few small chips and imperfections).
Height: 46 cm
