Bracha Lavee is an Israeli artist whose expressive art combines Jerusalem, Israeli and Bible themes with a contemporary visual style which is deeply rooted in ancient and modern biblical experiences. Her originals are constructed from felt in bright, semi-tropical colors which allows her to express these themes dramatically.

This beautiful piece depicts Bat Sheva standing on a veranda overlooking the city of Jerusalem with buildings that are unique in style to her. She is dressed in a rich and colorful garment and has her hand oustretched. Sitting in the palm of her hand is a bird, probably a dove which the artist useds in many of her artworks to convey peace. The sky is magnificently colored in shades of blues, turquoise, pinks, purples and white. On the left of the arch and on the table on the left are the Species of Israel.
