About the Item

This enchanting hand-painted stone by Ilya Schor is a captivating celebration of joy, festivity, and folk artistry. Signed on the back by the artist and marked with its place of creation in Provincetown, Massachusetts, this one-of-a-kind piece reflects Schor’s masterful ability to infuse everyday moments with whimsy and narrative charm. At the heart of the composition is a cheerful young girl, dressed in a lively multicolored dress of sky blue and vibrant red, her party hat adding to the sense of celebration. Her golden blonde hair is meticulously rendered, framing a bright, smiling face that radiates happiness. With both hands gesturing playfully, she appears to be inviting the viewer to join in the festivities. Surrounding her, Schor weaves elements of nature into the scene with a flowing foliate vine adorned with a delicate flower, seemingly growing from the field in the background. Perched atop this vine, a charming black-and-white bird with a light green crown sits in a moment of lively animation, playfully blowing a party favor from its beak. Painted in Schor’s signature folk-art style, the bird adds a delightful sense of movement and whimsy, reinforcing the celebratory mood of the piece. Ilya Schor (1904–1961), a revered Jewish artist, engraver, and painter, was known for his evocative depictions of Jewish life and folk traditions. His ability to blend storytelling with fine detail is on full display in this exquisite work, where expressive figures and intricate brushwork bring a sense of life and warmth to the natural stone canvas.
