Sinai is a 1825 watercolor by Mary Parker, a Romanesque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a landscape with a large mountain in the background. The mountain is purple and yellow, and it has a few trees in front of it. There are also some hills and fields in the foreground. The painting is done in watercolor, which gives it a soft and dreamy look. The colors are muted, but they still manage to convey a sense of depth and atmosphere.

Owned previously by Alister Mathews of Bournemouth, it was acquired in November 1961 for three pounds and five shillings.
