Street in Cairo 1911

Martiros Sarian’s *Street in Cairo*, painted in 1911, depicts a lively street scene in the Egyptian capital. The painting’s vibrant colors and flattened perspective, characteristic of Sarian’s style, capture the exotic atmosphere of the city. Two women in traditional dress, one carrying a large water jug on her head, walk along the narrow street lined with buildings and palm trees, while a rider passes by. The scene exudes a sense of vibrant energy and offers a glimpse into the daily life of Cairo.
