About the piece

Painted in 1905 by Albert Rieger, this oil work depicts a gathering of figures along the riverbank at dusk. The composition is defined by the warm, atmospheric glow of the setting sun and the detailed textures of palms and exotic foliage, characteristic of the 19th-century fascination with Egyptian subjects.
