In 1840, William J. Tipping sketched a house in Damascus. It’s a drawing, not a painting. You can see an open courtyard, a fountain, and a recessed sitting area. Tipping was an amateur archaeologist who traveled the Near East. He visited places like Jarash and Masada. This house shows his interest in older and newer architecture. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
