Catalogue Note
Zorach sculpted the heads of several biblical figures. Though his family was Jewish, he was not a practicing member of the faith as an adult. He did believe in a universal spirit that permeated all living things and in the case of the present work, gave his version of the prophet a stern expression which conveys the power and authority of revelation.
