Jacob Cohen and Mordecai

Grayscale illustration of an elderly bearded man in a skullcap seated at a reading desk with a large open book. A small curly-haired child leans at his shoulder holding up a sheet of paper. A window shows rooftops beyond

Mordecai reads with the Cohen child, Jacob, in the room behind the shop. The scene sets Mordecai’s visionary learning against the ordinary domestic life of the family who shelter him.
