A painting by an American artist, illustrator, and symbolist, who loved to draw inspiration from his travels. In particular, this work was inspired by his trip to the East in 1890.
His paintings are quite simple and understandable, and he took materials that were similar in mood - simple and easy to use. This work, for example, is done with colored chalk on white-gray painted paper. But this only adds naturalness and a sense of presence, as if we ourselves are on the banks of the Nile, and what is before us is nature, easily hidden in the foggy evening. A minimum of means, a maximum of atmosphere.
