content: Landscape sketch showing a view of clouds breaking and sunlight falling on the city of Jerusalem. In the foreground at center, the Dome of the Rock is clearly visible atop Temple Mount, as indistinct city buildings extend to the horizon. Above, billowing clouds break apart, allowing the white light of the sun--rendered here in white gouache--to cascade over the city.
