The Souk is a 1895 oil by Pollok Sinclair Nisbet, a Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting depicts a bustling marketplace, with people gathered in a courtyard. The scene is rendered in warm, earthy tones, with the sun casting a glow over the entire scene. In the foreground, a man sits on a bench, while others stand or sit in the background, engaged in various activities. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye through the crowded marketplace. The Scottish National Gallery holds this piece, which showcases the artist's skill in capturing the vibrant atmosphere of a Middle Eastern souk.
Pollok Sinclair Nisbet (1848–1922) was an artist, born in Edinburgh.
