Mount Ararat from Khor Virap
The piece is finished: Ararat, by Werner Boeglin (pastels)
You are looking at Mount Ararat through a window of the monastery 'Khor Virap' in Armenia (where St. Gregory the illuminator was imprisoned for 13 years). The monastery is located on a little hill and one is as close as one can possibly be to Mount Ararat in Armenia. The foreground of the painting shows what my travel guide referred to as 'the green belt' between Armenia and Turkey. From the monastery one also sees the fence of some military look out posts.
