Jordan Valley
Description
This sketch of landscape containing hills and valleys, it is typical of the sketches made by Lambert in the Jordan Valley.
In April 1918 Australian troops raided Es Salt across the Jordan valley. A bridgehead was established at Ghoraniye, and from this position light horsemen could see straight down the wide stream bed of the Wady Nimrin. This is a sketch for the painting 'The pimple, Ghoraniye', (ART02806) which dates from around 14 May 1918.
