This superb British Orientalist watercolour, painted by John Miller in 1978, presents a sweeping view of Jerusalem, titled ‘Jerusalem Across the Kidron Valley’.

Depicting the historic city from a panoramic vantage point, the composition leads the viewer’s eye through the Kidron Valley towards Jerusalem’s distinctive skyline. Miller expertly applies soft, warm hues to highlight key architectural features, including the renowned Dome of the Rock. His mastery of watercolour is particularly evident on the right side, where the sun’s brilliance gently washes out portions of the cityscape, creating an ethereal and atmospheric effect.

A winding pathway, flanked by lush greenery provides a natural guide through the painting, drawing attention to the city’s rich tapestry of historic monuments and buildings. The artwork is tastefully presented in a classic glazed wooden frame with a cream mat, complementing its delicate and refined composition.

The painting is signed and dated in the lower right corner 'Jerusalem Across the Kidron Valley / John Miller 1978’.

A stunning example of Orientalist artistry, this captivating painting makes an exceptional addition to any fine art collection.
