Mourning the Fall of Jerusalem
A group of men and women mourn on a raised terrace beside great architectural columns. Bowed heads and lifted hands carry the grief across the composition. The source identifies the subject as the fall of Jerusalem and connects the engraving with its historical writing on the city’s destruction.
