“Famous” Jewish painting “The Talmud” pedigree [on hold]

I have a painting I inherited from my grandparents that I have seen reproduced elsewhere by seemingly other artists, with some variations. The scene depicts a number of rabbis/scholars around a table in a Beis Medrash arguing over some text. I'll post an example below.



This has intrigued me for some time. Does anyone know the original source of this painting? Who the original artist was? What the background of this painting is?

          The painting is called Eine Streitfrage aus dem Talmud (A Talmudic Dispute) by Carl Schleicher. It was painted sometime during the 19th Century in Germany. Here are some other works by him. I could not find much about him on English webpages, but here is a Wikipedia article in Spanish.

            Thank you Ezra. I'm wondering if that rendering is the original piece or a reproduction. I've edited my question to show two variants of the same theme. My question is whose is the original?

          What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

          Image
          0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?

Is there a nice way to tell the pytest that "It's not a bug it's a feature" and tests should pass even when they get this warning? Is there other way than using something like: with pytest.warns(UserWarning): ...
