"Basking - A Corner in the Alhambra" is an 1883 oil painting by Australian artist Tom Roberts, depicting a scene within the famed Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain. The artwork portrays a lone figure, likely a worker or resident, resting in the shade of a grand archway, showcasing the intricate details of the Moorish architecture and the play of light and shadow across the stone. This work, painted during Roberts' travels, demonstrates his keen observation of everyday life and his skill in capturing atmospheric details.
