Description:
Landscape sketch showing a view of Hebron, Palestine from an elevated perspective. A rectangular space, possibly a roof, is shown in foreground with some kind of hive-shaped structure. Beyond a slope in the foreground, the city of Hebron is visible in the middle distance, nestled at the floor of a mountain valley. Several rectilinear structures are discernable at center. Dry, rugged hills rise behind the city, leading to a view of a cloud sky along the upper margin.
