Title not known (al-Jader 18)

Village scene at dusk.

This work by Al-Jadar shows the vivid colors and textures that come alive at night fall. The village comes into focus with a halo of dark blue surrounding it. The brush strokes are strong and loose, giving a sense of movement to the canvas. The figures present pass through the market place at the end of the day, penning up the livestock and securing goods.
