Depicted here is the Western Wall of the Temple with two praying figures. Both men are in the Hasidic way of dress over with a prayer shawl covering them. On the wall next to the one of the figures there is an inscription that reads:
כגן
(Priest).
The inscription in the lower part of the painting reads:
כותל מערבי
(Western Wall).
To the right of the painting of the Western Wall there is a painting of a landscape with the cave in the foreground. A city wall and small houses rise above the cave in the background.
The inscription to the painting reads:
