This richly detailed design is painted on a subtle sepia wash in the genre of classic illuminated manuscripts. A stylized depiction of Jerusalem is placed on top of an arch and columns representing the portal to the Holy City. The outer area is intricately painted with a quote in gold from “Eshet Chayil” in Proverbs, “She shall be praised in the gates by her own deeds.”
Gouache and ink on Arches paper. 22”x30”
