Tevia and His Wife Golde 1957 - 1961

"Tevia and His Wife Golde" is a lithograph created by Russian-American artist Anatoli Kaplan, best known for his illustrations of Jewish life, between 1957 and 1961. The black and white print depicts Tevia, the main character from Sholem Aleichem's stories, seated, and Golde, his wife, standing beside him, with their cow. The image portrays the couple’s simple rural life and the hardships they faced, a theme common in Kaplan’s work. He was known for capturing the cultural heritage of his Jewish community in his art.
