About the piece

Painted in 1891, Charles Conder’s 'The Hot Sands' is a masterful example of late 19th-century atmospheric painting. The work places a delicate arrangement of roses and lilacs in a simple pitcher against the vast, shimmering backdrop of the Mediterranean. The high-key palette of pale yellows and creams beautifully evokes the heat of Algiers, contrasted by the deep sapphire tones of the distant sea.
