This painting shows a sandy street in a dry, sunlit city. A tall tower with carvings and a dome sit in the background. People walk or ride a camel, while buildings with flat roofs and small windows line the path. The artist used soft watercolor washes to show light and shadow. The dome and tower suggest this might be a historic place. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
