Jerusalem · July 4, 2026
Some gifts are bought. The rare ones are chosen. Not long ago, a client walked into Kings Gallery with an unusual brief: find the perfect gift for a very honorable man.
The piece they chose says everything without a single word — two hands clasped in a firm handshake, one painted as the flag of Israel, the other as the flag of the United States. Friendship, loyalty, and partnership, rendered in paint.
On July 4th, 2026 — the 250th anniversary of the United States — that artwork was presented to U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his wife Janet at the Ambassador’s residence in Jerusalem, surrounded by friends and neighbors, under American flags and summer bunting.
“Accept this gift from us on the 250th anniversary of America — but consider it a gift of friendship from an entire nation.”
— From the dedication read at the presentation
The Ambassador held the piece up, studied it, and smiled. A moment between two flags — and exactly what our client had hoped for.
We are proud that a work from our gallery was chosen for this moment — and glad it was gifted to such an honorable man.
