Street scene in Kairouan
1915 · Pastel on paper
Dimensions 140 × 150 cm
The Orient fascinated Stabrowski so much that it became the target of his many expeditions. He was particularly interested in Kairuan, the holy city of Islam located in Tunisia, with a hundred mosques within its walls, each with unique architecture. During his stays in the holy city, Stabrowski collected a wealth of material from which genre scenes, city landscapes and oriental portraits were created. The "Street Scene in Kairouan" combines all these elements in a magnificent performance, conveying the light and atmosphere of a Middle East street with all its contrasts.
