About the piece

Painted in 1919 by Latvian artist Jāzeps Grosvalds, this work captures a moment from his travels through the Middle East. The composition is defined by the bold contrast between the women's luminous pink robes and the deep shadows of the Baghdad streets, showcasing a sophisticated modernist approach to form and color that simplifies the scene into powerful, rhythmic shapes.
