Title not known (Al-Mukhtar 4)

Subject

Cityscape with central dome and surrounding architecture

Description

In this cityscape, by Mukhallad Al-Mukhtar, a dome covered in calligraphic script rises out of a series of architectural forms. A series of windows are illuminated with the colors of red and yellow. The color palette of the background hints at the setting sun as the bright oranges give way to darker hues, while a swirling pattern gives the backdrop an otherworldly sensation.
