About this work

This painting shows a rocky mountain with jagged peaks and a few patches of green. In the foreground, there’s a ruined wall and some small animals grazing. The colors are mostly muted browns and grays, with a pale sky in the background. The title says "Mount Sinai – Arabia," which ties this scene to a famous biblical location. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, almost travel-journal feel. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
