Ancient Jericho

About this work

This watercolor shows a rocky path winding through a dry, rugged valley. Three people—two on horseback and one walking—move toward a small stone bridge in the distance. The mountains in the background are jagged, with patches of snow, while the foreground has sparse bushes and uneven ground. The title *Ancient Jericho* hints this might be a real place, but the scene feels quiet and untouched. The artist used soft, muted colors to show light and shadow across the landscape.
