Correction. Painting is in fact Rebecca Lieberman Friedman

In an earlier posting I passed on my late father's conjecture that the woman in the painting was Aharon Tzevi's second wife. After communication with several cousins, I am convinced that he never took a second wife, and that the portrait is, in fact, Rebecca Lieberman Friedman. It seems that I was also mistaken in suggesting that the portraits were painted from life. Cousin Kit Wang produced copies of the very photographs from which the paintings were later made, and as can be seen below hers is clearly marked.
