Lot description

This original oil on canvas by Abraham Straski presents a reverent depiction of a rabbi carrying a Torah scroll, executed in a traditional realist style with rich, warm hues. The elderly figure, donned in a dark robe and yarmulke, holds the sacred scroll adorned with gold embroidery, an ornate crown, and the Star of David. The rabbi's expression, framed by a flowing white beard and gold-rimmed glasses, conveys deep wisdom and devotion. The bold, fiery background contrasts against the detailed rendering of the rabbi and the Torah, drawing attention to the spiritual essence of the subject. Straski, known for his Judaic-themed works, captures both the solemnity and grandeur of religious observance. Signed in the upper left, this work holds strong collectible appeal for those interested in Jewish heritage and religious art. Artist: Abraham Straski (Poland, 1903-1987) Issued: 20th century Dimensions: 18"L x 22"H Country of Origin: Poland
