San Pablo, Zaragoza is a 1879 watercolor by Ernest George, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting shows a street scene in front of a tall, ornate tower. The tower has several levels, each with arched windows and a small balcony. In front of the tower, there are several small buildings with tiled roofs and a few people milling about. The painting is done in muted colours, with shades of brown and grey dominating the scene. The artist has used quick brushstrokes to capture the texture of the buildings and the movement of the people. The painting is a great example of Impressionism and Realism.
