There are two Simeon, Simon or Szymon Buchbinders both listed artists and both Polish.

The later 'Simeon' painted larger oil on panels in the order of 16x17 inches such as the Rabbi illustrated and "Woman with Grapes" in a more free 'art deco' style. In 2005 his 'Bein Schachspiel' sold in Munich for £3344 (plus commission).
