Triumphal Arch Crossing the Ravine Leading to Petra

David Roberts

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a large stone bridge with an archway spanning a deep gorge. The bridge appears to be made of stone and has a single large arch. It connects two cliffs on either side of the gorge. There are people standing on the ground below the bridge, and one person on horseback. The cliffs on either side of the bridge are tall and steep. There are trees and bushes growing on the cliffs and on the ground below. The sky above the bridge is light blue and hazy. The overall scene is rendered in muted colors, with shades of brown, gray, and tan dominating the palette.
