This is a vintage original oil painting on canvas by renowned Hungarian-Jewish artist Zoltan Szemerey (1908–2009), depicting two Jewish boys in traditional attire holding a book, a palm branch (lulav), and a citron (etrog) — elements used during the Sukkot holiday. The composition captures a tender and reverent moment, rendered with soft realism and warm, earthy tones.

Zoltan Szemerey was a celebrated Jewish artist in Hungary, with works displayed in the Hungarian Parliament building. During WWII, many works of Jewish painters were destroyed under Nazi occupation, making surviving pieces like this highly collectible Judaica fine art.
