拍品專文

A wonderfully imaginative reconstruction of biblical Jerusalem, with the figures, typically for John Martin, rendered on a diminutive scale. Another version of the watercolour was engraved in a set of four in 1835, and as the sixth of a series of illustrations to the New Testament published the following year.
