Associated media

Many British TV watchers will be glued to BBC 2's new drama serial, The Honorable Woman starring Maggie Gyllenhaal as Nessa Stein, an Anglo-Israeli businesswoman who heads up the Stein Company, and all its philanthropic interests. As she struggles to right her father's wrongs in a world of conspiracy and espionage, she takes her father’s former arms company and inverts its purpose.

Ms Stein is wealthy and her walls are adorned with art. In real life some of these works are from the collection of  London's Ben Uri, which has lent them for the production. See if you can spot Ellen Alt's Mem (illustrated here), Lazar Benson's Design with Deer (1915) or Shraga Weil's Symbols of the Passover (The Ram).

Viewers in the UK can catch the next episode tonight, 10 July, on BBC2 at 9p.m.
