This 0.85 Israeli lira stamp showcases a powerful woodcut-style artwork by Jacob Steinhardt, one of Israel’s most celebrated expressionist printmakers. Issued by Israel in 1970 as part of a series honoring national artists, it depicts a dramatic, shadowed street scene of Jerusalem’s ancient stone alleys. The bold contrasts and textured carving capture Steinhardt’s signature style, rooted in German Expressionism and later shaped by his life in Israel. A desirable cultural issue for collectors focusing on Israeli art, Judaica themes, or 20th-century artistic stamps.
