"The man in this lithograph is one of the patriarchs one finds in the older parts of Israel, and in this particular case, Jerusalem. I tried to convey the character of this quarter of Jerusalem to the ancient Study Hall with the figure in the foreground. The Judaean area has a glow of warm colors all its own, which I have tried to instill in my work. I love using authentic backgrounds. I create my work to please myself; the authenticity of the settings gives my work the feeling of timelessness I seek."E.S.
