About the piece
Painted in 1872, Louis Comfort Tiffany captures the shimmering heat and shimmering atmosphere of Egypt in this expansive landscape. A caravan moves across the sandy foreground, framed by the silhouettes of the Citadel Mosque of Muhammad Ali and the Tombs of the Mamelukes, all bathed in a warm, ethereal golden glow characteristic of Tiffany's mastery of light.
