專家說明

Lear reached Sinai in January 1849 remarking in a letter to his sister Ann that 'the excessive & wonderful grandeur of the spot is not to be described, though i hope to shew [sic] you drawings of it - : the adaptation of the whole scene to that recorded in Scripture is equally astonishing' (Letter to his sister Ann, 16 January 1849, in V. Noakes, Edward Lear 1812-1888, London, 1985, p. 148).

According to an old catalogue note, the back of the original frame bore an inscription in the artist's hand which read; 'Gertrude Lushington from her affectionate godfather Edward Lear, August 9th, 1879'.
