Citadel Cairo is a 1910 watercolor by Albert Goodwin, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a busy scene in front of a large, light-colored building with two tall towers. The sky is pale blue, and bare trees line the street. People are walking, sitting, and talking under the trees, while a few are gathered near what looks like a market stall. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a soft, sketchy feel. The colors are mostly muted, but the light catches the white walls of the building. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A watercolour drawing titled *Citadel Cairo* by Albert Goodwin (RWS), created in 1910, depicts a view of Cairo’s Citadel. The work was later purchased from Abbott & Holder by Rodney Searight in October 1961 for £8 and may have been exhibited at the Royal Watercolour Society in 1911.
