Limited Edition Lithograph by Shalom Moskovitz of Safed (Shalom of Safed)

This piece is a vibrant limited edition lithograph created by the renowned Israeli naîve artist Shalom Moskovitz, popularly known as Shalom of Safed. The artwork depicts a bustling, stylized biblical or metaphorical scene characterized by the artist's signature 'folk art' style. The composition features rhythmic patterns of trees with dot-like foliage, colorful whimsical buildings, and figures dressed in traditional or historical attire. A central golden dome or structure serves as the focal point, with a path leading down to a gated wall where Hebrew text is meticulously integrated into the masonry of the brickwork. The palette is rich with primary colors—reds, blues, and yellows—contrasted against earthy browns and lush greens. The print is executed on heavy, deckle-edged paper, indicating high-quality production. It is housed in a modern gold-toned metal frame with a wide mat. In the lower left corner, a limited edition numbering (e.g., 20/200 or similar) is visible, though the specific digits are slightly obscured by the photograph's resolution. The work exhibits the flat perspective and narrative storytelling typical of 20th-century Israeli primitive art. The condition is described as perfect, with no visible foxing, fading, or mechanical damage to the paper surface.
