AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This vivid figurative composition presents an intimate scene of human figures, animals, and symbolic elements, rendered in Roth’s characteristic lyrical-expressionist style. Stylized faces and bodies are combined with birds and architectural forms, creating a dream-like narrative that reflects themes of family, protection, and coexistence within a rural communal environment.
The warm palette of ochres, reds, and greens, along with simplified forms and expressive brushwork, is typical of Roth’s Israeli period, where personal symbolism replaces literal representation. The figures appear closely connected, suggesting emotional bonds and shared daily life rather than individual portraiture.
Executed in oil on canvas and preserved on its original stretcher. The reverse bears an original gallery stamp, confirming its provenance and period.
