The Colossi of Memnon, Thebes by Antonio Beato. Two large stone statues of seated figures with damaged faces and bodies on top of stone bases. The statue on the left is slightly larger and closer to the viewer than the one on the right. Both statues have their arms resting on their knees. The statues are situated in a flat area with a desert landscape and rocky hills in the background. The sky is clear and light-colored. The image is sepia-toned. Two people are sitting on the base of the left statue. The photographer's signature is visible at the bottom center of the image. The overall scene depicts a desert setting with ancient stone structures.
