About the piece
Painted in 1884 by the Norwegian artist Nicolai Ulfsten, this work is a striking example of late 19th-century Orientalist painting. The composition centers on a gathered group of camels and travelers at rest, set against the sun-drenched architecture and palm trees of an Algerian settlement. Ulfsten's use of a low horizon line allows the clear, expansive sky to dominate the upper half of the canvas, effectively conveying the heat and open air of the North African desert.
