Leonard Pinkhof (1898-1944), Jewish-Dutch painter and educator, spent most of his adult life in Den Helder, Holland, and was active in the Jewish and artistic life in the city. In 1940, when Holland was occupied by the German army, he was fired from his post and was forced to wander between several towns until he was caught in 1944 and sent to Sobibor extermination camp.
Condition varies, overall fair condition. Stains, tears and creases. One of the drawings has open tears at margins; large tear at left margins (not affecting drawing) and a tear repaired with adhesive tape.
