About this work

This painting shows a small, domed tomb in a quiet courtyard. A single figure kneels under a tree, his back turned. The pale walls and warm shadows make the scene feel peaceful. It’s one of the few works by William Orme left today. He mostly painted British scenes, but this shows his skill in landscapes far from home. See something similar in Orme, William’s other early watercolors.
