In this artwork, how is the Reception discussed?
In the book Jozef Israëls author John Ernest Phythian states that the painting was hastily completed and he called it an "unusual summary". He went on to say, "The picture has unusually little value as a work of art." An image of the painting appears on the cover of the 2020 book, The Many Ways Jews Loved by Constance Harris.
