The artwork transports me to a serene moment, the air shimmering with the soft light of the setting sun. The vast sky blends seamlessly with the horizon, a canvas of pale yellows and subtle oranges, hinting at the day's gentle farewell. A majestic structure dominates the background, its silhouette softened by the atmospheric perspective, giving it an almost ethereal quality. It’s the silhouette of a grand mosque, a testament to the city's rich history, rising serenely from the water's edge.

The artist’s technique is remarkable, employing delicate brushstrokes that capture the play of light on the water’s surface; it glistens, reflecting the golden hues above. In the foreground, a small sailboat gracefully navigates the waters. The scene is brought to life with tiny figures engaged in daily life along the shore, adding a sense of scale and narrative to the composition. The composition invites a sense of calm and introspection.
