Oil on masonite. Inscribed “Krakow” by the artist alongside his indecipherable signature. Framed.
summary
Large painting depicting a group of Jews blessing the New Moon. The ceremony is undertaken outdoors at night when the moon is waxing, between the 3rd and 15th day of the Jewish month. The subject on the left looks heavenward, the use of candle-light as a highlighting technique expertly deployed by this artist who is yet to be determined.
49.5 x 37.5 inches.
