About the piece

Painted in 1893 by Henry Brokmann, this atmospheric oil study depicts the historic Tombs of the Caliphs in Cairo. The work features a delicate palette of sandy ochre and pale lavender, capturing the luminous, hazy quality of desert light with soft, impressionistic brushwork that highlights the weathered stone of the ancient structures.
