Painting of a whitewashed palace with arched windows in misty blue tones, with two riders on horseback in dark robes in the lower right.

Palace of Justice, Tangier

A pale, hazy whitewashed building with arched windows and a low entrance dominates the scene, rendered in soft blue-grey brushwork. Two dark-robed figures on horseback ride across an empty foreground street at lower right, while a shadowed arched doorway opens on the left.
