About the piece

Painted in 1912 by Charles Dufresne, this lively work captures the atmospheric beauty of an Algerian patio. The composition features figures in colorful traditional garments amidst the geometric arches of North African architecture, rendered with a rich, expressive palette of pinks, teals, and earthy tones.
