Full finish graphite art drawing of Rabbi David Feinstein
Limited fine art reproduction on Soft white cotton paper.
Hand signed and numbered by artist.
Rabbi Dovid Feinstein (1929-2020) was a highly respected Orthodox Jewish leader and Torah scholar. Born in Lyuban, Poland, he was the son of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein one of the most prominent halachic authorities of the 20th century. Rabbi Feinstein served as the Rosh Yeshiva of Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim in New York City for many years and was widely regarded as a leading authority on Jewish law and tradition. His defining qualities were his humility, kindness, and devotion to Torah study.
This drawing portrays R' Dovid's reflection of 100,000 Jews seated by the Siyum Hashas, engendering a sense of community and togetherness. Despite the grandeur of his position on the dais, R' Dovid's expression remains humble, capturing his remarkably unpretentious demeanor. The artist's use of highlights to emphasize R' Dovid's shoulders conveys the message that he was a towering figure who carried the mantle of American Jewry on his shoulders. His mastery of Torah is elegantly depicted by his arm extended over a sefer.

Yitzchok’s unique method is a study in patience and focus. The drawings are created using graphite on a white paper offering a sharper contrast than traditional oil portraits. The graphite also allows for ultra-fine details and subtle shading, giving the portrait a silver glow.
The subjects Hebrew name is skillfully hidden in the portrait.
