Subject of the painting is of the artist’s own great grandfather (circa mid 1800’s) in Iraq wearing traditional Iraqi Jewish dress before the family, along with many of the same community, fled from their home of centuries. "People of the Diaspora," as Jews were commonly referred to, took their traditions and rich cultural heritage with them, passing them down through the generations.
