Desert of Sinai

Engraved by Finden after Turner. ( Finden's Landscape Illustrations of the Bible, Vol. 1. Rawlinson 575. Wilton 1239.)

Turner based his composition on a sketch by Major Felix. (See Ruskin's attitude to Turner compositions based on sketches by other artists.) This engraving was recommended by Ruskin in The Elements of Drawing as particularly worthy of study ( Works, 15.76).
