The City Walls, Jaffa, Palestine

About this work

This watercolor shows a busy street in front of old stone buildings with arched doorways. People in colorful, loose clothing walk or sit—one woman in yellow stands out, another man kneels by a basket. A large arched gate stands open in the background, with a tower and domed roofs rising behind it. The ground is sandy, and a potted plant with bright flowers sits in the corner. The artist focused on everyday life in a Middle Eastern town, capturing light and shadows simply. The colors feel warm but muted, like a sunny day.
