Hauntingly Beautiful Portrait of a Young Yemenite Girl by William Weintraub

About the Item

Hauntingly beautiful oil on canvas painting of a young Yemenite girl by Israeli artist William Weintraub (b.1926). The frame probably needs to be replaced. The canvas itself measures 19.75" x 28.75". There is minor paint loss to near the elbow but it does not detract from the overall beauty of this painting. Comes with a vintage "Hang-o-Lite" picture light. American-born, “Sonny” Weintraub was one of Israeli’s best-known young painters of Israelis, Yemenite and Oriental children, as well as old people (including Ben Gurion and Gold Meier) were among his favorite subjects and his work can be found in the homes of European and American collectors. He was a graduate of the Maryland Institute of art and studied under the renowned teacher Jacques Maroger. As a volunteer in the US Merchant Marine during World War II, Weintraub found subjects for his early canvases on his trips to Europe and the Mediterranean. An Aliyah Bet volunteer, he was briefly interned on Cyprus by the British before arriving in Palestine to participate in the War of Liberation. Following a stint in the Israeli Merchant Navy, Weintraub settled in Tel Aviv in 1955 to paint full-time. He held successful shows and participated in group exhibits in Israel and abroad.
