The Story and Visual Flow
At first glance your eyes catch the arch, massive, dark stone, Mughal, connecting two buildings, white light pouring through it from the other side, bright, busy bazaar behind. Above the arch an ornate two-story building, Mughal arches small, balustrade white, aged, cream yellow impasto, historic. Right side attached old Lahore brick building burnt orange ochre, two arched windows, textured, glowing, green trees peeking top right and bottom right.
Top sky beige, hazy, monsoon evening, electric pole tall black with wires crossing, red sign small. Foreground entire street is water, golden brown, wet, thick impasto swirling like mirrors, reflecting everything, left side four figures walking black and red yellow, center red orange rickshaw headlight glowing white yellow, reflections rippled below, two more figures yellow and black crossing. Two orange shop lights glowing under arch. The whole scene is rainy Walled City Lahore after downpour, reflections dancing.
The entire canvas is Zafar Iqbal Khan's signature palette knife thick impasto, sculptural, brick walls raised, wet street thick swirling mirror strokes. Bottom right signed Zafar Iqbal Khan 26.
