[Опубликовано: 2025-09-30 17-11 UTC±0] 

Horizontal painting in watercolour with ink lines. The scene is near a stone wall at the Port of Jaffa, with an entrance to Greek monastery to the right, and a man passing by on a bicycle on the left. In between two is a tabby cat meowing at the observer. The wall has a door in the middle, and a larger gate door on the left. On the right is the entrance to the monastery, with icons and a symbol above. A Black worker sits near the entrance by the broom having lunch. The bicyclist on the left wears a helmet and a long sleeved button shirt, with the bicycle having storage on the bag, having a bag in it. In the pocket of the man is a pink mobile phone.

Composite scan, on the bottom is the painting described before, on top on the right above where the address goes superimposed is the front of the postcard. It shows an entrance to a white-ish concrete building, titled "Kruskal House" and signed "21 Hess St., Architect: Richard Kaufmann, 1931". The photo, as it's signed on the back, is by Nikola Radic Lucati, the design of the postcard is by Yaron Levi, and the postcard itself is by the Bauhaus Center.  On the left are two postal stamps from the series "International Mail from Eretz Israel". The stamp on the right (or as it appears on the scan on the top) "Overland Mail" 7.60 depicts a truck "Haim M. Nathaniel Overland Mail Service" superimposed in front of a letter signed "First Overland Baghdad-Haifa". Below is a photo likely taken from an old postcard with one of Haifa translations. Below it says "Overland Mail Baghdad - Haifa",likely a reprint of a stamp from the era.  The stamp on the left (or as it appears on the scan on the bottom) "Sea Mail" 5.50 depicts a ship, and below is a photo of the Port of Jaffa. Below is a reprint of a stamp from Jaffa.
