Title not known (Al-Mukhtar 8)

Landscape overlaid with stenciled patterning

A desert landscape makes up the background of this composition by Mukhallad Al-Mukhtar. In the lower half of the picture plane undulating strokes of sandy tans and browns are contrasted with a sky of shimmering stippling with greens, blues, pinks, and yellows. Overlaying this desert backdrop is the stenciled pattering indicative of Mukhallad Al-Mukhtar’s work. Standing out amongst the various animal and vegetal forms is a singular easel holding a brightly colored canvas.
