About the piece
Painted in 1896 by Arthur Guéniot, this evocative oil on canvas captures a hillside view in Algiers. The composition features traditional architecture with terracotta roofs and white facades, offset by Mediterranean greenery and a towering palm tree. The work is rendered in a soft, painterly style that emphasizes the region's unique light and warmth, typical of late 19th-century European travel studies.
