About this work

This painting shows a narrow alley in a city. Two people ride a donkey under a stone archway, with another person walking behind. The walls are rough and weathered, and the light outside is bright, casting shadows inside. A tree branch with sparse leaves leans over the alley. The brushstrokes are loose, blending colors like the faded blue sky and warm stone. The artist focused on everyday life, not polished details. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
