"Open Doorway, Morocco" (1879-1880) is a painting by American artist John Singer Sargent. The painting depicts a doorway in Morocco, with a slightly open door leading to another courtyard. The scene is characterized by the interplay of light and shadow, with the strong sunlight highlighting the doorway's white frame and the cobblestone ground. Sargent's loose and painterly brushstrokes create a sense of movement and atmosphere, capturing the beauty and mystery of Morocco's architectural details.
