Sophie Halaby (Arabic: صوفي حلابي; 1906–1997) was a Palestinian watercolorist who depicted Jerusalem and its surrounding landscapes. She was one of the first Arab women to study art in Paris. Halaby's younger sister, Anastasia Halaby, founded an embroidery workshop to provide employment for poor women after the Palestinian Nakba. Sophie Halaby influenced later Palestinian artists, including Samia Halaby (no relation) and Kamal Boullata.
This is almost certainly a view of Jerusalem or its immediate surroundings, probably taken between 1930 and 1950. The work shows a typical Halaby panorama of the city as she captured it before the city's large-scale expansion after 1948.
The landscape is still relatively empty, which is characteristic of pre-Nakba Jerusalem.
The painting is a family heirloom. My grandfather bought it in the late 1950s when he was living in Lebanon and Palestine. He brought the painting with him to the Netherlands. It has hung on the wall of the family home ever since.
