The family is surely celebrating the girl’s First Communion. Excitement and festive commotion are in the air. The painter, Jehudo Epstein, who came from a Jewish shtetl in Belarus and trained at the Vienna Art Academy, was a great storyteller. His anecdotes from Jewish cultural life and reports on his rise up the social ladder can be found repeatedly in newspapers and magazines from the 1920s and 1930s. He stayed in northern Italy for a long time, where he captured people’s everyday lives as he did with this picture.
