About the piece

Painted in 1909 by Jan Ciągliński, this oil study on cardboard captures a rare moment of softness in the Sahara desert after rainfall. The artist uses a warm, muted palette and tactile brushwork to depict the rugged terrain and scattered desert flora against a hazy, atmospheric sky, reflecting his mastery of light and atmosphere.
