About this work

This watercolor shows a town built on a hillside, with white buildings packed close together. A winding river cuts through the bottom, and a few trees dot the landscape. In the distance, a big mosque stands out against the hills. The artist wrote the name "Hebron" on the paper—now called Khalil. The note also mentions tombs of famous figures from the Bible.
