A Street in Tangiers c. 1860 - 1862

Mariano Fortuny Marsal's watercolor painting "A Street in Tangiers" (c. 1860-1862) captures the bustling atmosphere of a Moroccan street. The composition features a narrow street lined with arched doorways and a glimpse of a larger marketplace in the distance. The artist's use of loose brushstrokes and muted colors creates a sense of immediacy and movement, conveying the daily life of Tangiers in the mid-19th century. The figures in the foreground, including a man with a donkey and a group of men sitting on the ground, add a human element to the scene.
