The Dead Sea Looking Towards Moab

David Roberts

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Dead Sea Looking Towards Moab by David Roberts. A drawing of a fort on a cliff edge overlooking a body of water, with mountains in the background. The cliff edge runs across most of the image horizontally in the middle. A very steep, jagged cliff in shades of brown drops down to the left. A white fort sits directly on the edge to the right and on the right side, a hill slopes downward. The fort is made up of several white rectangular towers and a high wall extending from the cliff edge to the right on a mostly flat surface. The body of water is visible behind the fort, and several mountains are in the background under a light-colored sky. The drawing is done in brown and white with some blue on the body of water. Small trees appear on the hill on the right. A signature appears on the bottom right.
