We also carry Tabletop Gadol Sketch plaques in an arched lucite format with gold hardware — perfect for a seforim shelf or desk ($44).
Custom prints and styles are available. Find the custom options in the Full Gedolim Collection

All Gedolim wall art is printed on sleek, high-clarity lucite. The pieces mount slightly off the wall — about ¾" — using included chrome hardware, creating a floating effect that adds depth and presence. The Framed Light series features a white acrylic frame with gold mounting accents.

Most in-stock Gadol Sketches are available in standard sizes including tabletop 7x9" & wall 16x20. Tabletop pieces are a compact arched format ideal for shelves and desks. If you need a different size, contact us — custom sizing is available.

This option applies to the Custom Order Gadol Sketch, and it's worth understanding before ordering. The 'Yes Mask' option adds a white layer behind the sketch itself (not the clear areas), creating a more pronounced cut-out effect — ideal for darker or colored walls. The 'No Mask' option gives a cleaner, hand-sketched look with no background layer, integrating seamlessly into lighter walls. On very dark walls, No Mask may be harder to see.

Standard in-stock items are eligible for exchange within 20 days of receipt. Items must be in original condition with all packaging intact. Custom pieces, however, are not returnable or exchangeable. To start an exchange, email info@waterdalecollection.com with your order number.

We offer several custom options: (1) Custom Order Gadol Sketch — order any in-catalog Gadol in your chosen size on lucite, starting at $165. (2) Custom Sketch — submit your own photo and we'll hand-sketch it into a one-of-a-kind lucite piece, from $330. (3) Custom Colored Sketch — a full-color version of the custom sketch, from $485. (4) Custom Painted Gadol Sketch — a fully hand-painted original, starting at $3,300.

Absolutely. If your Gadol isn't in our standard catalog, you can order a Custom Black & White Sketch or a custom Colored Sketch by submitting a photo of your own. Our artist will create a hand-sketched portrait printed on lucite. You can choose portrait sketch (head/shoulders focus) or full sketch. Visit the Custom Sketch product page or contact us to get started.

For the best result, submit a clear, high-resolution photo with good lighting and a visible face. Front-facing or slightly angled photos work best. Our team will review the image and reach out if anything needs clarification before production begins.

Standard custom orders take approximately 3–4 weeks for production. If you need it sooner, we offer a Rushed option that takes approximately 1.5 weeks. For more details on rushed orders, email dassy@waterdalecollection.com.

Note: rushed availability may vary during busy seasons — reach out early.

Yes! Personalization is available as an add-on. After selecting your Gadol Sketch, click the personalization link on the product page to add names, dates, or a message. This is a popular choice for bar mitzvahs, upsherin gifts, and memorial tributes.

Not necessarily. Custom order pieces are produced in their own facility with their own process. While they follow the same aesthetic, exact color, contrast, and finish may vary slightly from the standard catalog versions. We're transparent about this so you can set the right expectation before ordering.

For many custom orders, we provide a proof or preview for approval before final production begins.
For an print of a Gadol from our catalog, a proof is not necessarily sent.

The Custom Order Gadol Sketch comes in 8x10, 11x14, 13x16, 16x20, 18x18, 18x24, 22x22, and 24x30. The Custom Sketch and Custom Colored Sketch offer 16x20, 16x20 Rushed, 18x24, and 24x30. For sizes outside these options, email us — we do accommodate custom dimensions.

Yes. All custom orders — including Custom Gadol Sketch, Custom Sketch, Custom Colored Sketch, and Custom Painted pieces — are non-returnable and non-exchangeable. Please review your selections carefully and feel free to reach out before ordering if you have any questions.
