The Hebrew Scholar.
Oil on canvas. Signed and dated by the artist in red lower right. Framed. 31.5 x 36.5 inches (80 x 92.7 cm).
1932
An uncommon subject-matter for the American-born Mathew Kalmenoff (1905-86). Set in a domestic setting, the Expressionistically painted style suitably conveys the intensity of the subject’s engrossed devotion to the text before him.
