    I have not been able to find much on Miriam Vizen. Maybe because she displays her art mostly in Jerusalem and the character set is not searchable on Google?

    This measures 17" x 17".

    I tried to get some closer images plus one that shows more of the extent of the gold leaf work.

    I'm thinking this must be a print with gold leaf applied by silk screen.

    This looks like classic Jewish art or a variation thereof. I'm told really observant Orthodox/Hasidic/etc folks don't put actual drawings on their walls unless said drawings are made of Torah written in Hebrew. I've seen prints of same but forget what it was called. It often had the gold foil on it too. A rabbi friend told me once, but bedarned if I can remember.

    Nice piece. Better micro lens pics would help,any sign of signature or signed/numbered print ?
    PS-Just for Yuks,here's one the earliest views of Jerusalem we have-
    the 6th Century CE Madaba Map.
    PS-No depiction of Solomon's or Herod's Temple because as you recall-they were both destroyed.
