A corner of the convent of Santa Clara, Zafra, Estremadura, Spain is a 1950 watercolor by Sir Lionel Arthur Lindsay, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows old buildings with light-colored walls and dark roofs. One structure has a tall archway, while another has a small arched door. The walls look rough, and the roofs are made of tiles. A person in a light dress stands near the archway, and the scene is bright with a clear sky. The artist focused on how light hits the buildings, making some spots glow. The brushstrokes are loose, giving it a sketchy, quick feel.
