AhasuerusSynopsis
A female artist is troubled that she cannot finish her painting of the wandering Jew Ahasuerus. So she sends her obedient husband to find a model. After a careful search the husband eventually finds someone suitable to pose for his wife, an old harpist with a large beard. He invites him to their flat at a certain time. However, his wife is unpleasantly surprised. Instead of the bearded old man, a freshly shaven old man with a close cropped head of hair appears at their door. He believed that the artist would prefer him that way.
