An Islamic Painting Depicting the Kaaba and Masjid al-Haram, Watercolour on Paper, 20th Century.
A stylised architectural depiction of the sacred precinct of Mecca, centred on the Kaaba within the courtyard of Masjid al-Haram. The composition is arranged in a clear, elevated perspective, showing surrounding arcades, minarets, and adjacent buildings rendered in simplified geometric forms. The background features a series of undulating mountains annotated with Arabic inscriptions identifying locations. Executed in soft tones of green, beige, and blue, the painting presents a balanced and schematic representation of the holy site, combining devotional imagery with a diagrammatic clarity.
