A work by an English artist, priest, representative of the Norfolk school, known for his accurate watercolor and landscape studies. It was created during his travels in the East, which inspired many of his contemporaries.
The palette is characteristic of his works of that period: warm, almost monochrome. And a combination of materials helped the author to convey the atmosphere of the mysterious East: watercolor, gouache, and graphite.
In the center of the composition is the city of Nablus, near the Jordan River. The artist was a master of perspective and conveying the volume of space, and this work is no exception. Several planes, smooth transitions, a play with light and shadow - everything creates the impression of a quiet evening, where everyone goes about their business, against the backdrop of architectural grandeur and an exceptional landscape.
