Tailoring (1980)

"Inspired by New York and its large needle and thread industry. I designed a delicate work of art into which I put small touches that are important to me. The old Singer sewing machine is a relic we bought to admire for its artistry. The cup is an old mustache drinking cup, and the man has a warm and expressive face - a joy to draw or paint. (E.S.)

Note: As a boy growing up in Israel - mending clothing was performed by men, women, and children.
