John Singer Sargent, known for his masterful portraits, was also a gifted watercolorist. “Cairo” is a captivating example of his skill in the medium, capturing the essence of the bustling Egyptian city in the late 19th century. The piece features a simplified perspective, focusing on the weathered textures of a stone wall and the distant silhouette of a minaret against a pale sky. The use of subtle washes of color evokes the atmosphere of the city, showcasing Sargent's ability to convey a sense of place through his art.
