Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sepia-toned drawing depicts a large outdoor area with ancient stone structures. The area is filled with rectangular stone columns and walls, some with intricate carvings on them. Two large, square structures stand in the background, with a pathway leading to them. The structures have flat tops and are adorned with carvings. In the foreground, several large stones lie on the ground. Two people stand on the left side of the image, wearing dark clothing. The sky above is cloudy and light-colored. The overall scene depicts an ancient temple complex.
