Mount Zion 1976

"Mount Zion" is a 1976 watercolor by Avigdor Arikha, a prominent 20th-century artist known for his detailed, almost photographic renderings of the everyday. The painting depicts a simplified, almost abstract view of a building, likely located in Jerusalem, with a focus on the textured surface and play of light. Arikha's signature style, characterized by meticulous brushstrokes and precise lines, creates a sense of both realism and a quiet, meditative atmosphere.
