A Hand Painted Stone by Ilya Schor

About the Item

This exquisite hand-painted stone by the renowned artist Ilya Schor, created in Provincetown, Massachusetts, during the 1950s, beautifully captures the regal and spiritual essence of King David playing the harp. Seated upon an elegantly decorated throne, King David is depicted in flowing blue robes and a golden crown, his hands gracefully plucking the strings of his harp. Surrounding him are intricate foliate vines, their delicate curves framing the composition, adding depth and movement to the piece. Atop one of the vines, a small bird nestles among the branches, a subtle yet meaningful detail that enhances the poetic and serene atmosphere of the scene. Schor’s signature style—rooted in Jewish tradition and illuminated manuscript art—is evident in the rich earthy reds, deep blues, and gold accents, creating a visually striking and deeply evocative image. The fine detailing and vibrant color palette make this piece not only a testament to Schor’s masterful artistry but also a profound tribute to Jewish heritage and biblical history.
