James Tissot's "Out-building of the Armenian Convent, Jerusalem" is a pen-and-ink drawing depicting a courtyard with a single tree and a series of arched doorways. The drawing, likely created as an illustration for Tissot's "The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ", captures a sense of tranquility and emphasizes the stonework of the building, creating a visual record of the Holy Land. The piece, held in the Brooklyn Museum, is part of Tissot's extensive collection of drawings and paintings that depict biblical scenes and the locations where they took place.
