Siloam from under S.E. Corner of Wall Jerusalem is a 1901 by John Fulleylove, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a rocky hillside with a town built into it. The buildings are small and clustered, with winding paths between them. A river or stream cuts through the scene, adding texture to the dry landscape. The artist used quick, light lines to capture the uneven terrain and rough walls. It looks like they drew this fast, maybe while traveling. Want to see more sketches like this? Check out cross-hatching for how artists build shadows with lines.
This drawing depicts the Pool of Siloam as viewed from beneath the southeast corner of the wall enclosing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It is one of a series of sketches connected to the 1902 publication *The Holy Land Painted by John Fulleylove*, accompanied by text from John Kelman. The work was likely exhibited at The Fine Art Society in 1902 under the title *Siloam From Under The South-East Corner Of The Wall Of The Temple Area*. The drawing was later acquired by Rodney Searight from Schidlof around 1967.
