Mughal Archway in Green and Gold

This striking, large vertical oil on canvas by Zafar Iqbal beautifully captures the emotional atmosphere of a historic city street after a rainfall. The composition centers on a massive stone archway, framed by densely packed historic buildings featuring deep green, detailed wooden windows. The artist uses a heavy impasto technique, giving the ancient walls and lush surrounding foliage a rich, tangible texture. The wet, reflective street below is alive with activity—small figures, a blue taxi, and a horse-drawn carriage—their colors shimmering in the diffused light. A distant minaret can be seen through the archway, adding to the sense of depth and history. This artwork is a deeply expressive and evocative piece, perfect for collectors who cherish architectural history and rich textural painting.
