Festival Prayers with Lulav and Ethrog.

(SYNAGOGUE SCENE).

1892

Large oil on canvas. Signed (indecipherable) and dated upper right. Finely framed.

This image bears some resemblance to the protagonist painted by Leopold Pilichowski’s “Sukkot” (1894-95), housed in the Jewish Museum, New York (JM 89-55). The subject of a tallith-clad Jew with the celebratory Four Species was also a subject for Marc Chagall: “Feast Day” (1914) (Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, Germany).
