Frontal portrait of Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, with his name in Hebraic text to the left of his head. Two flies are barely discernable against the dark background [CMA 2001.034.421]. A first state proof [CMA 2001.034.371] has only a rough outline of Ben Gurion's head, with the flies and text notably brighter. Second and third state proofs [CMA 2001.034.110, CMA 2001.034.111] reveal additional experimentation with the facial details.
