About this work

This painting shows a long, red-walled fort sitting beside a body of water. Inside the walls, there are several buildings with domes and arches, some with golden roofs. The sky above is pale and flat, while the water below is dark and calm. The artist focused on the fort’s strong, geometric shapes and bright colors. The buildings inside look orderly, but the walls feel heavy and solid. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
