Nisim Kalef at a Purim celebration

This is my grandfather Nisim Kalef at a Purim celebration in Belgrade. He is the first on the left, holding a Napoleon doll in his hand. The others are probably his friends. I know very little of him because he died long before I was born. I don't even know what he did for a living. He was probably a merchant.
