Note du spécialiste

A watercolour of this subject, described as Saint Peter engulfed was one of the first acquisitions of the recently formed Ben-Uri Society in 1919.  In 1933 it was donated to the Tel-Aviv Museum by Alfred Wolmark, on behalf of of the Ben-Uri, as a foundational work for the Museum (‘Works of Art for Palestine’ The Times 8 May 1933).
