About the piece

Painted around 1880 by Paul-Albert Girard, this work depicts a quiet moment in a traditional Algerian interior. The composition focuses on the interplay of light on white-washed walls and the intricate architectural details of the horseshoe arches, complemented by vibrant potted geraniums along the wooden balcony.
