The Enthralling Story

A. Wolk






A. Wolk

Venice, Italy, 1890

Oil on Canvas

60 x 34 1/2 inches

Acquisition: Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Burnstein



This image of The Enthralling Story is just one small portion of this neo-classical depiction of a bearded man seated at a table gesturing as he speaks to a group of children standing in various positions with a young mother nearby. The painting also features a picturesque landscape in the deep background and delicately foliated trees silhouetted against a rich blue sky.
