Modern Jewish Art
  Akselrod, Illustration "The Market" for the book of poems by I.Harik

© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Radovan, Zev, 04.1994
The drawing represents a market in a jewish shtetl. On the foreground there depicted a group of people. Looking from the left to the right one can see a sitting plump market-woman in a kerchief leaning on an opened sack with some wares. Behind her there is a man with risen hands, a seller weighting something and a woman standing by his side. To the left there is another woman with a basket standing with a thoughtful air. On the foreground two girls sitting on their knees. Behind this group a horse driving a cart with two fares is visible. In the center there is a group of three talkink men. To its right a hawker boy carries something in his hands stretched forward, to the right. A tall jew with one hand on his hip and with other bent in the elbow and risen up goes towards him. A violinist stands playing to the right. At his feet two kneeled women (one of them with a child) beg alms. On the background there are the houses of the shtetl. On one of the gabled roofs one can see a chimney-sweep. An illegible inscription is seen on a front of one of the houses. The sun is depicted in the left corner. The whole drawing forms a rectangle 115mm x 160mm inside the larger rectangle of the leaf. The margins are left untouched.
