The Phoenix - A Casa do Passal II

The first one is gone, so this is the second watercolor I make of this scene, after this house was reborn in recent years. Thankfully it’s becoming a museum in honor of its once and forever owner, the late Aristides de Sousa Mendes who lost everything for his humanity during WW2.
