This framed six-tile tableau by Abderrazaq, a celebrated Tunisian ceramic artist, captures the essence of North African medina life. Hand-painted in soft tones of sky blue, ochre, and terracotta, the scene features a traditional Tunisian street with arched doorways, domed rooftops, and a central minaret, evoking the architecture of Tunis or Sidi Bou Said.
Each tile is individually glazed, joined seamlessly to form a single panoramic composition. The piece is mounted in its original cream wooden frame and retains its warm, time-softened surface — a hallmark of vintage Tunisian ceramic artistry from the mid to late 20th century.
