A Market Scene, Lahore

A Market Scene, Lahore (1888-89) is a luminous oil painting executed during his third Indian journey. From eye‑level, Weeks depicts a sun‑lit Lahore street gorgeously framed by elaborately carved wooden balconies and jutting windows above artisan stalls. The market is bustling—vendors, townsfolk, richly dressed in vibrant hues—creating a lively contrast with the detailed architecture. His skillful treatment of light and shadow gives warmth and texture to both figures and façades. Rendered from an on‑site sketch, the work reflects Weeks’s keen observational eye and his nuanced appreciation of Lahore’s ornamental street life and heritage.
