Description:The painting is owned by Birmingham Musuem and Art Gallery. David Bomberg, who had originally come out to Palestine under the auspices of the Zionist Organisation, painted many scenes at Petra in 1924. This tour was arranged by Ronald Storrs, at that time Governor of Jerusalem and Judea.

Bomberg was born at Sutton Street off Holloway Head in Ladywood. The Bomberg family moved to London when he was very young. He is mostly remembered today for his cubist paintings.
