Bloch

	The story is told that this portrait was done by the Court Painter sitting behind a screen. It was made while Ernst Bloch played chess with Frederick the Great. No Jews had portraits made. It was against the Ten Commandments. Frederick ordered the painting done. The original portrait is at the farm in Hillsdale.
