Tales of Zal Plate

A painting depicting a scene from Riyadh's famous Zal Market, depicting lively interaction within the market's corridors, specifically within one of the traditional rugs. The scene highlights subtle details, such as a man sitting among the folds of the rug, while other figures stand in the background, as if telling tales from the good old days to market-goers and passersby.

The work captures the moment and transforms it with black threads on white canvas into an everlasting memory that expresses the spirit of the place and its people. Crafted by skilled Saudi hands.
