In this exquisite watercolor painting, the artist brings to life a significant scene from the Jewish Bible, depicting Deborah, the esteemed judge, prophetess, and leader of the nation of Israel. She is portrayed seated beneath the palm tree famously named after her, "Tomer Deborah," which served as her place of counsel and judgment for the people of Israel.

This scene is set in the period after the Israelites entered the land of Israel and before the construction of the first Temple, a time when judges were the primary leaders of the nation, preceding the reign of the first king of Israel, King Saul. Deborah's choice to sit outdoors under the palm tree is thoughtfully depicted, reflecting her extraordinary commitment to modesty and her desire to avoid being alone in a room with a man.

The setting around Deborah is rendered with a sense of serene beauty. A gentle river flows beside her, symbolizing wisdom and tranquility, while the surrounding greenery adds a sense of peace and natural splendor to the scene. This painting not only captures a pivotal biblical figure but also conveys the essence of her leadership and the respect she commanded through her wisdom and modesty.
