About the piece

Painted in 1890 by Maurice Bompard, this Orientalist work captures the Oued Chetma in Algeria during the height of summer. The composition masterfully balances the expansive, sun-baked wadi in the foreground with a lush line of palm trees and a vast, clear blue sky, perfectly evoking the atmospheric heat and light of the North African landscape.
