About the Item

Oil painting depicting an urban passageway covered by an imposing architectural arch, characteristic of North African medinas. The composition features multiple figures dressed in traditional robes, some interacting and others moving along the street in different directions. The tunnel-guided perspective highlights the depth of the space, while the cool, violet tones contrast with warm details in the clothing. The work conveys a sense of everyday movement in a historical setting. Unframed dimensions: 46x59cm
