As is the case with the most of Tuymans his work, does not attract the picture itself our attention, but the possibility of reconstruction of a moment or a fact. This watercolor treated the theme of "The Wiedergutmachung", a German system with which the German government after World War II irrationally money to Holocaust survivors and others who were direct victims of the Nazis. The word literally translated means 'to make it good again'.
