Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours: "Interior of the Mosque of Sultan Hassan, Cairo" - E. A. Goodall, 1890. Engraving of a painting. 'We referred last week to the claims of several works to especial notice, and we are glad, therefore, to bring some of the more important more distinctly before our readers. Mr. E. A. Goodall's "Interior of the Mosque of Sultan Hassan, Cairo," is a solemn rendering of one of the most perfectly preserved monuments in the capital of Egypt. The architecture, which is wholly Saracenic, is seen to the best advantage, through the rich softened haze which falls through the windows in the roof; while the massive arch which separates the entrance from the main building seems almost graceful by reason of its admirable proportions. The worshippers are scattered about the pavement, each on his separate carpet, and devoutly reciting the daily prayers enjoined by the faithful'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
