Egypt & Nubia, Volume III, No. 8: Mosque of Sultan Hassan, Cairo

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sepia-toned drawing of a large, ornate mosque courtyard. The courtyard features a large, covered area with a dome roof supported by columns, and a smaller, similar structure to the right. People are gathered around and sitting on the ground. The background has large arches with striped patterns. The walls are made of stone blocks with various sized windows. A large wall on the left has a large archway and a smaller one. The atmosphere appears to be one of quiet gathering or prayer.
