Reuven Rubin's 1929 painting The Fiancees. The painting shows the artist and his American-born wife Esther on the balcony of their home in Tel Aviv during the British Mandate period. Reuven Rubin was born Reuven Zelicovici in Galaţi, Romania and would later become Israel's first ambassador to Romania. He studied at Betzalel in Jerusalem and went on to spend significant time during the inter-war period between Mandatory Palestine, Europe, and America. As a painter and an artist, he is considered an Israeli national treasure.
