About the piece
Painted in 1891 during his travels in Egypt, John Singer Sargent captures the soft play of light across a decorative stone pavement in Cairo. This oil study showcases the artist's celebrated ability to render atmosphere and architectural form through confident, loose brushwork and a sophisticated, earth-toned palette.
