To Ned Rorem:
'The trouble with you and me, Ned, is that we want everyone in the world to personally love us, and of course that’s impossible; you just don’t meet everyone in the world.'

This is one of a group of oil sketches associated with John Singer Sargent’s travels to Egypt in 1891; the painting depicts the Mosque of Sulayman Pasha al-Khadim in Cairo’s citadel complex. Built in 1528, it is considered the first Ottoman-style mosques in Egypt.
