Mt. Sinai is a 1836 ink by Adrien Dauzats, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a mountain landscape with a large stone structure in the center. The structure has a dome on top and people gathered around it. In the background, there are tall mountains and a light sky. The people in the painting are dressed in robes and turbans, and some are carrying staffs or other objects. The structure appears to be some kind of building or monument, but it's not clear what its purpose is. The painting is a lithograph, which is a type of printmaking technique that involves drawing an image onto a stone plate with a greasy substance, then using acid to etch the design into the stone. This technique was popular during the Romantic period, which is when this painting was created. To learn more about this technique, look up lithography.
Adrien Dauzats (16 July 1804 – 18 February 1868) was a French landscape, genre painter and painter of Oriental subject matter.
