Outside the walls of Sétif, Algeria is a 1839 watercolor by Adrien Dauzats, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a busy scene outside a walled city. In the foreground, people with tents and animals are camped near a gate. The walls have towers and arches, and beyond them, you can see buildings with domes and spires. Trees and a few people walking add life to the scene. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture movement and activity. The focus is on daily life outside the city walls, not grand details.
