A closer look
The palette is tighter than it looks at first glance.
There is almost no pure local colour here — every passage is a mixture.
The date is uncertain — it is filed simply as by Nasreddine Dinet.

Why hand-painting matters here
What you lose in a print is the air. The original puts hazier, cooler paint between you and the horizon; a press prints the haze as a flat wash. Handled by hand the far ground goes back where it belongs.

Canvas sizes
Because we paint each piece from scratch, you are not limited to stock dimensions. Common choices:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 40 × 30 in | 102 × 76 cm | Living room focal wall, above a sofa |
| 32 × 24 in | 81 × 61 cm | Living room, above a sideboard |
| 30 × 24 in | 76 × 61 cm | Dining room, bedroom feature wall |
| 24 × 20 in | 60 × 50 cm | Study, home office, above a desk |
| 20 × 16 in | 50 × 40 cm | Bedroom, hallway, above a console |
If you need a panoramic or an unusually tall canvas, that is a normal request here. Shipping and framing are not included in the canvas quote. Duties and import taxes are for the buyer's account (DAP).

We have painted it most often for clients hanging it over a sofa or sideboard. Proportions follow the original, not the nearest standard frame size. Anything panoramic or vertical is handled as a matter of course.
Before you order
Will it look exactly like the image?
Not exactly, and that is the point — it is a painting, not a scan. Composition, colour and drawing follow the original closely; the surface is where a painter's own decisions show.
Is it really painted by hand?
Yes. We hand-paint from public-domain source images, do not sell prints, and never claim the original.
Does changing the size change the composition?
No — we keep the original's proportions and scale from there, rather than cropping the image to fit a standard frame.
