Mosque of Sidi Said bou Othman, Meknes is a 1936 watercolor by Frank Galsworthy, a Orientalism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a tall tower with arched windows and a pointed top, attached to a simple building with a single arched doorway. The walls are light beige, and the sky is pale blue with soft clouds. A few small figures sit or stand around the courtyard, which is mostly empty. The artist used light, loose brushstrokes to keep the scene airy and warm. Notice how the tower’s details—like the small windows and decorative carvings—are sketched in but not overworked. Look up Galsworthy, Frank next to see more of his travel sketches.
A watercolour drawing of the Mosque of Sidi Said bou Othman in Meknes was created by Frank Galsworthy in 1936. The work was later sold at Sotheby's Islamic Sale on April 19, 1978, for £66.
