About the piece

Painted in 1911, this evocative oil on canvas by John Lavery depicts the city of Tangier at night. From an elevated rooftop vantage point, the artist uses a muted, tonalist palette to convey the stillness of the evening, punctuated by the soft glow of distant city lights and figures silhouetted against the dark sky.
