Malka Henschel 1840

The above is written on the back of the portrait below, which has come down in David Lewin's family.  No one now living knows Malka's relationship to any of the family.    If you have any possible information on this portrait, or if there's a family resemblance, please contact David Lewin.

The earrings, necklace and lace trim on the head covering and on the shoulder below the shawl indicate some affluence, as does the existence of this portrait, for that matter.
