A Corner of the Haram 1889

"A Corner of the Haram" is a pen and ink drawing by James Tissot, created in 1889, depicting a view from a rooftop overlooking a small courtyard in Jerusalem. The drawing, now part of the Brooklyn Museum's collection, captures the architectural details of the Haram al-Sharif, Islam's holiest site, through delicate lines and subtle shading, highlighting the intricate details of the stonework. The artist's meticulous rendering of the scene provides a glimpse into the everyday life of Jerusalem during the late 19th century.
