Oil on board. Signed.
Approx. 33X24 cm. Frame: 45X36 cm. Minor damage.
Jacob Eisenberg (1893-1966), born in Pinsk, was a prominent student in the old Bezalel school. In 1919, he was sent by Boris Schatz to study ceramic art in the Vienna School for Arts and Crafts, a subject he later taught in the ceramic department he founded and headed in Bezalel. In this capacity, he created several famous ceramic works (such as "The Traveler's Prayer" and "The Wolf shall Lie Down with the Lamb"), street name signs for the new quarters of Jerusalem and a welcome sign for the Bezalel building. Between 1927-28 he also taught painting in Bezalel. Famous also for his stained glass works, prints and portraits; his work was exhibited in a number of shows, including solo exhibitions in Bezalel (1924) and in the Jerusalem Artists' House (1958 and 1961).
