This watercolor shows a grand courtyard with a tall tower and a domed building in the distance. In the foreground, a small pavilion with colorful tiles sits beside a fountain. People in loose robes and hats walk around, some carrying umbrellas. The sky is pale, and the ground looks dusty. The domed building is decorated with intricate patterns, while the tower has a pointed top. The scene feels calm, with soft light washing over everything. Next, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
