"Torah" is the name of the Holiest document in Judiasm, also known as "The Bible." The Torah, which is a carefully handwritten scroll, is composed of the Five Books of Moses.
The painting is composed of six interlocking circles, five of which are labeled with the Hebrew name of each book, Bereshis, Shemos, Vayikra, Bamidbar, and Devarim. The sixth and topmost circle has the crown of the books' author, G-d. The Hebrew word "Torah" is found in the center red rose, the tav-vav on the right, and reish-hei on the left.
This painting is featured in the hardcover art book entitled "Hebrew Illuminations" written by Adam Rhine and Louise Temple.
