content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the neighborhood of Siloam beside the eastern walls of Jerusalem, visible at right, as seen from the Mount of Olives. The view faces southwest and overlooks the Jewish Cemetery, which covers a sloping hillside in the foreground just beyond nearby pear and olive trees. In the middle distance at center, the buildings and trees of the Siloam are shown situated in a shallow valley. Rolling terrain comprises the horizon, leading to a partial city skyline in the background at right.
