For a Jewish painting showing rural life, this is stunning. This painting shows a Jewish man fishing with two kippah-clad boys watching. You’ll notice that the painting shows a cloudy day in the shtetl and the building in the foreground seems to be falling apart. Chickens run wild and geese do the same. It’s not glamorous, but it is probably a lot like what Jewish life was like during shtetl times. The boys are barefoot and one is reading a book, probably Torah! The painting is a very realistic portrayal Jewish life during Shtetl times.
