Ze'ev Raban – Three Original Pencil Sketches – Book Illustrations

Opening: $400
Unsold
Ze'ev Raban, three original sketches. Pencil on paper. Not signed.
1. Family around the table during a Passover dinner. Apparently this is the first sketch for the illustration of Passover dinner which appears in the book "Chageinu" (the final illustration is significantly different from the presented sketch). Several handwritten comments appear on the right side of the leaf: "try to add grandfather", "Map of Eretz Israel on the wall", "Pitcher with the bowl?", and more (Hebrew). [1] leaf, ca. 21 cm.
2. Boys next to their teacher, reading a book next to a tree. On the upper part of the leaf, the inscription "Book illustrations" (Hebrew). [1] leaf, 24 cm.
3. Four figures. One holding jugs while the three others sit facing him, on the ground, next to a tree. On the upper part of the leaf an inscription "Book illustrations" (Hebrew). [1] leaf, 16 cm.
Condition varies.
