About the Item

A great Mixed media on board by the noted artist William McCloy. I believe this work represents Jerusalem as you can see a mosque top, a church and a wall, symbolic of the dome of the rock, the church of the Holy Sepulchre and the wailing wall. It is not signed but purchased from his estate. Based on the style we thick this is a 60-70's painting. Biography:William Ashby McCloy (1913-2001) lived in Nanking and Shanghai, China until the age of thirteen, returning to the United States in 1926. He received his first training in art at the State University of Iowa in 1930 and graduated with a B.A. in Art.
