This painting shows a crowded Gaza street in 1839. People walk past stone buildings and a market stall. A donkey carries goods in the background. Roberts visited Gaza during a long trip through the Middle East. He sketched what he saw, then painted it later in his studio. Most artists stayed close to home. He traveled thousands of miles.
