Egypt and Nubia: Volume I - No. 20, Great Hall at Karnak, Thebes

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of a row of ancient Egyptian columns. The columns are thick and have a wide, flat top and are carved with hieroglyphics. There are two main columns in the foreground on the left and right and several in the background on either side. Some of the columns are whole and some are broken. The columns on the left and right extend from the bottom to the top of the image. Two people and a donkey are sitting on blocks to the left of the image. The background shows a hazy view of more columns and an archway. The sky is light-colored and hazy. The ground is made of stone. There are several large stones on the right side. The drawing has a border around it.
