Known for his large scale paintings of the Grand Canyon, the Virginia-born Lucien Powell (1846-1920) commenced his art career after serving in the US Confederate Army. He was a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and studied under Thomas Moran. On the reverse of this handsome watercolor, Powell writes: “… And painted from the original C S Kelok (?) - as seen from a road coming from Jordan & the Dead Sea. Painted expressly for the Reverend Edwin Stucker by the artist Lucien CO Powell.
