About the Item

The drawing depicts a panoramic view of Damascus as seen on July 24, 1869. It is a fine pencil drawing, approximately 7 x 22 cm in size, mounted on a backing board. The drawing showcases the city's distinctive skyline with domes and minarets prominent in the background. In the foreground, there are faint outlines of people and structures. The drawing also includes a note referencing the burial site of a woman related to the Prophet, suggesting a significant historical or religious context. The paper is slightly stained and browned, indicating some aging. The value of an antique drawing like this can vary significantly based on several factors: 1. **Artist**: If the artist is identified and well-regarded, the value can be much higher. Anonymous works generally fetch less. 2. **Historical and Cultural Significance**: The drawing's reference to Damascus and the burial site of a woman related to the Prophet adds historical and cultural value. 3. **Condition**: While this drawing is slightly stained and browned, it still appears in relatively good condition, which positively affects its value. 4. **Rarity**: Unique or rare pieces tend to be more valuable. A dated piece from 1869 can be considered rare. 5. **Provenance**: If there is documentation or a clear history of ownership, this can enhance the value. Given these factors, an anonymous but historically significant drawing in good condition could be valued anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.
