Lot description

Scarce limited edition work by noted American artist Irving Amen (1918â€"2011), titled Sabbath Eve. Celebrated for his prints, drawings, and sculptures exploring themes of family, faith, and the human experience, Amen developed a distinctive style characterized by graceful line work, expressive figures, and strong narrative content. Rendered in an elegant blue monochromatic palette, Sabbath Eve reflects the artist's enduring interest in Jewish culture and tradition. The composition is enhanced with an original pencil drawing executed directly on the print, adding a unique hand-drawn element and creating an appealing combination of printmaking and original artwork. Amen's sensitive draftsmanship and thoughtful treatment of the subject lend the work both visual sophistication and emotional depth. The piece is signed in pencil by the artist and numbered 29 from a limited edition of 90, increasing its desirability for collectors of twentieth-century American art and Judaica. Amen's works are represented in numerous museum, institutional, and private collections, and remain highly regarded for their artistic merit and cultural significance. Artist: Irving Amen (Hebrew, 1918-2011) Dimensions: 20.5"L x 25"H; sight size 14.5"L x 18"H Edition Number and/or Size: 29 of 90
