Description:
This rondo is an exact replica of J. D. Harding’s ‘Kittim’. It was executed twenty years later and given the title ‘Kittim, Cyprus. Ruin of Larneca’ with a reference to the Kittim in Genesis. This indicates that the artist could be a missionary. It is interesting to see the colourful attires worn by the Ottomans.
