Information

This watercolour has been historicaly attributed to William James Muller, although the signed monogram does not match his usual signature. The work is a copy of David Wilkie's (1785 - 1841) oil painting 'The Tartar Messenger Narrating the Fall of Acre'. The Siege of Acre was a battle of 1291 in what is now Israel.
