,
broider d portrait of himself sl
Ephriain Flescher, an ernhrse.lerer of

in Hebrew upon it.
The portrait is 20x30 inches and

and child.
This was inspired. the artist said.

lamb, and the leopard shall lie down'
with the kid: and the calf and she
young li o n an d the fatting togrther:
and a little child shall lead them."
