Morocco. Sefrou. The roofs of the city 1932

Zinaida Serebriakova's "Morocco. Sefrou. The roofs of the city," a watercolor painting from 1932, captures the vibrant atmosphere of a Moroccan city. The painting depicts a bird's-eye view of the city, showcasing a labyrinthine network of white-washed buildings, punctuated by splashes of warm ochre and terracotta tones. The rooftops, teeming with life, are the focal point of the composition, with figures going about their daily routines. Serebriakova's loose, expressive brushstrokes and bold use of color infuse the cityscape with a sense of movement and vitality, characteristic of her artistic style. The painting is a testament to the artist's fascination with the architecture and culture of Morocco, which she explored during her travels.
