"Tents", drawing on parchment, created by Shlomo Yedidya Seelenfreund, inspired by a poem by Mordechai Avi-Shaul. Jerusalem, 1928.

The drawing features three tents at night, lit by moonlight. The verses of the poem "Ohalim" [Tents] by Mordechai Avi-Shaul (1898-1998 – poet, author, critic and Hebrew translator), in the spirit of the Third Aliyah, are written on the three tents.
