Rabbi in the Shtetl
Charcoal and chalk.
I based this on an old photograph of a rabbi taken somewhere (unrecorded) in Eastern Europe, before 1930.
This is the first time I’ve shared some of my art other than photos, so am feeling somewhat nervous! Please be gentle! x

Thank you Michael. I appreciate your comment.
Just had a quick look at your website – love the image entitled ‘This is where it begins’. I’ll enjoy looking at more of your work later.

Keep sketching you are doing fine. During those times before the 30’s were plenty of pogroms so this rabbi may have seen some of them. We are all improving in our artwork one way or another.
