This image depicts a detail of the monumental Bab Mansour gate in Meknes, Morocco, under clear daylight conditions. The scene is dominated by a large, light-ochre textured wall featuring two prominent horseshoe arches. The central and larger arch frames a massive, dark brown double-leaf wooden door, heavily studded with metal, and secured horizontally by a dark metal bar. The facade of this main arch is intricately carved with calligraphic or geometric patterns. To its immediate left, a smaller, similar horseshoe arch is partially visible, casting a long shadow across its interior. A multi-tiered set of light-colored stone steps leads upwards from a cobblestone pavement to a flat platform directly in front of the large wooden door. A small, light-colored cat is visible seated on this platform at the base of the wooden door. Strong sunlight illuminates the scene from the right, casting distinct shadows.
