Egypt and Nubia: Volume II - No. 34, Entrance to the Tombs of the Kings of Thebes, Biban-el-molook

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a desert landscape with mountains and cliffs. A valley with steep cliffs is in the background. In the foreground, there are large, flat rocks and a group of people sitting on the ground to the right. One person stands to the left of them, holding a spear. Other people on horses or donkeys are further away to the left. The sky above is hazy. The entire scene is rendered in shades of brown, with no other colors present. The drawing appears to be an old illustration, with a sepia tone. The people in the scene wear robes and head coverings. There are openings in the cliff face in the background.
