Israeli Scene with Figures

J Simon 1861 - 1945

Summary

A stylised composition with bright colours and geometrical shapes. A man lies across the foreground, a woman kneels to hold a child on the left, and another woman stands holding another child's hand on the right. The figures are simplistically painted with thick outlines, and red/orange skin tone. A tree is directly behind them, and a hedge on the left extends into the background. There are also houses on either side and triangular shapes (perhaps tents), behind which are blue hills in the distance. The orange colours of the ground and clouds suggest warmth.
