- Description
- Unfinished study showing a scene of a parade entering the old city of Jaffa, Palestine (now Tel Aviv, Israel). In the foreground, several figures dressed in colorful draped clothing and cloth headwear cross a stone bridge while playing drums and waving green-and-red flags. A large patch of grass comprises the middle distance at center. At upper left, a circular minaret towers over the other buildings, while the Spanish style belltower of St. Peter's Church is visible in the background at center. At right, the remainding skyline is rendered only in graphite, and shows multiple domes and towers.
