About the piece
Created in 1876, this masterful watercolor by John Frederick Lewis depicts a lively market scene near the El Ghouri Mosque. Lewis is celebrated for his precise, jewel-like technique, seen here in the intricate textures of the textiles and the striped Mamluk architecture, offering a stunning window into 19th-century Egyptian life.
