Cairo is a 1850 watercolor by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a desert scene with a city in the distance. In the foreground, people and animals are walking on the sand. The sky is light, and the overall mood is calm. The painting has a soft, gentle quality to it. The artist used watercolour to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The colours are muted, with shades of brown and beige dominating the scene.

A watercolour drawing titled *Cairo* from around 1850, previously misattributed to artists C. Haag and E. Lungren, was acquired by Rodney Searight in 1961 through Abbott & Holder for £4.
