Near Karnak is a 1904 watercolor by Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting shows a desert landscape with a small, white building in the distance. The building has a flat roof and a doorway in the middle. There are some palm trees and other vegetation around the building. In the foreground, there are some rocks and sand. The sky is light and hazy, with a few clouds. The painting is done in muted colours, with shades of brown, beige, and grey. The artist, Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore (HRH Princess), used a delicate touch to capture the beauty of the desert landscape. If you're interested in learning more about her work, you can check out the Victoria and Albert Museum, which holds this painting in its collection.
Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom produced *Near Karnak* in 1904 after a Nile journey aboard the Khedive’s royal yacht during the winter of 1903–04. The watercolor depicts a riverside view close to the temple complex at Karnak, reflecting her travels that extended from Aswan to Khartoum and included a detour to the Red Sea. The work later passed through Abbott & Holder in April 1975 before entering a new collection.
