Egypt and Nubia: Volume III - No. 36, Interior of the Mosque of the Sultan El Ghoree

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a large interior room with a high ceiling. The room has a wide, pointed archway at the far end, with a smaller pointed archway on either side of it. The walls are adorned with intricate designs, patterns, and Arabic calligraphy. There are several windows with metal grates on the upper level of the walls. The floor features a checkered pattern. Several people, dressed in robes and head coverings, are scattered throughout the room, some standing and some sitting. The color scheme is sepia-toned, with shades of brown and beige dominating the scene.
