About the piece

Created in 1887 by French artist Félix Ziem, this oil on wood painting captures the luminous atmosphere of a market in Fez. In the foreground, figures in traditional white and dark jellabas congregate in a sun-drenched clearing, while the horizon is dominated by the majestic, snow-capped Atlas Mountains. Ziem's signature impressionistic brushwork and mastery of light bring a sense of timeless elegance to this Orientalist scene.
