Photo plates from the "Wooden Synagogues" book, portions of which were used to draw images depicted in the young man's torso between his shirt collar and arms folded across his chest. In the Wooden Synagogue book photo above, there are five flying birds in the synagogue wall-painting towards the upper left of the photo. In the artwork, the birds were painted above the violin - seen directly below the man's left arm - seen on viewer's right. Photo (below at left) of the Torah parchment from the book 'The Last Jews of Eastern Europe.' Photo at lower right of detail of a wooden synagogue wall, some of which was drawn in the torso area of Young Man with Star....
