About the piece

Painted around 1850 by Alberto Pasini, this Orientalist work captures the lively atmosphere of a horse market in Syria. The composition balances the detailed figures and animals in the foreground with the luminous, sun-drenched architecture of a large domed edifice, characteristic of Pasini’s travel-inspired style.
