A Women of Valor
LIMITED EDITION PRINT
"Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates." (Proverbs, 31;31)
This painting attempts to make literal the figurative phrase at the end of chapter 31 of Proverbs (quoted above), a chapter which is customarily read on Friday nights at the Shabbat dinner table, and is often given by Jewish men to their wives as a gift of art and calligraphy expressing their love and appreciation.
Figuratively speaking, the complimentary things that people tell about "the woman of valor" to her husband when he sits in the city gates with the elders of the land -- describing the good work she does, her kindness, diligence and excellence -- these things "praise her in the gates". What I tried to do here is depict an actual gate, with the ancient city of Jerusalem (or one similar to it) behind it, and then put the different kinds of work and good deeds the Woman of Valor does in a series of murals above and on both sides of the gate.
