Jardin Majorelle - Marrakech

 Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, Jardin Majorelle is a one-hectare botanical garden and artist's landscape garden in Marrakesh, Morocco. Created by French Orientalist artist Jacques Majorelle over almost forty years, (beginning in 1923) and featuring a Cubist villa, depicted below, designed by French architect Paul Sinoir in the 30s.

The property was the residence of the artist and his wife from 1923 until their divorce in the 1950s, and in the 80s, the property was purchased by the fashion designers Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé who worked to restore it. 

I was fortunate enough to visit the garden on my trip to Marrakech this week. However, the sketch below was done after the visit as the weather didn't respect the needs of paper and ink pen.
