A stop in the desert 

"A Stop in the Desert" is a watercolor painting by Giulio Rosati, an Italian artist known for his Orientalist works. The painting depicts two figures in traditional Arab dress, one riding a white horse and the other standing beside a dark horse. The scene is set against a vast, sandy desert landscape under a pale, sun-drenched sky. The painting captures a moment of quiet contemplation, perhaps a pause in a long journey, conveying the sense of isolation and stillness that characterizes the desert environment. Rosati's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the scene.
