Tunisian Courtyard with Horseshoe Arches

This 50x50 cm acrylic painting captures the serene beauty of a traditional Tunisian courtyard.
The composition features iconic horseshoe arches with their distinctive alternating voussoirs, a hallmark of North African Islamic architecture.
A central fountain surrounded by potted plants anchors the sun-drenched tiled courtyard, while ornate geometric friezes crown the archways.
The warm palette of ochres and creams evokes the timeless atmosphere of Tunis's historic medinas, where such architectural gems have been preserved for centuries.
Through careful attention to light, shadow, and architectural detail, this piece invites viewers into the peaceful, enclosed world of traditional Tunisian domestic spaces.
