St. Stephen's Gate, Jerusalem is a 1860 by Richard Principal Leitch, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a city wall with a big dome and towers in the background. In front, two people sit on the ground near some trees. The sky is light blue with faint clouds, and the buildings look old and tan-colored. The two people seem to be resting or talking, with one wearing a red shirt and the other in blue. The trees are dark and add a green contrast to the warm tones of the buildings. This style of painting is part of the Realism movement.
Richard Principal Leitch (1844–1865) was a British artist.
