Rabbi of Vitebsk

Here's one of my lifelong favorites, here called "The Praying Jew" but sometimes also known as the Rabbi of Vitebsk, by Marc Chagall (1923 copy of a 1914 work).

My mother introduced me to Marc Chagall's work when I was in high school in the late 1960s. He has been a favorite of mine since then. She had a small framed print of this painting on the shelf in her bedroom. When she died, it came to me.
