PHILIP BOUCHARD
THE OLD AND THE NEW (Qasr Nura, Mosque, and the Watertower)
Oil on canvas 114cm x 203cm POA
This painting is from a sketch done in the early 80s in Riyadh. At the time the watertower was newly built and was a major landmark. Qasr Nura (on the left) was an old palace that was about to be demolished to make way for modernization.
