Esther BenSimon Jerusalem Wall Hanging Hand Embroidered Folk Art Signed 1983 20"

Created in 1983, this piece is signed by the artist in English and Hebrew. It is a striking, one-of-a-kind hand-embroidered tapestry by Argentine-Israeli artist Esther BenSimon, dated 1983. Rendered in wool and cotton, it depicts the Old City of Jerusalem in a folk-art style, framed within a ring and finished with tassels. Signed by the artist, it reflects not only her technical skill but also her deep connection to her adopted city. A beautiful piece of Judaica that blends heritage, textile craft, and personal expression. 20" diameter.

Esther BenSimon is originally from Argentina, which adds an interesting cross-cultural element to her work.
She immigrated to Israel in 1968, making Jerusalem not just an artistic subject but also her home; this personal connection likely infused her Jerusalem-themed works with both familiarity and emotional resonance.
