Jerusalem - view at night from my tent door outside Jaffa Gate - is a 1850 watercolor by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a nighttime scene with two donkeys pulling a covered cart. One donkey is white with a red harness, the other is brown. A person sits in the cart, wearing a hat and dark clothes. Trees loom in the background, dark and blurry. The painting uses loose, quick brushstrokes and soft colors to suggest night lighting. The artist focused on movement and mood over detail. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
A watercolour drawing depicts a nighttime view of Jerusalem from outside the Jaffa Gate, as seen from the artist's tent. The work was purchased in 1969 from Richard Grey for £3, according to Rodney Searight's records.
