Asyut, View from the Mountain

Antonio Beato

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned photograph of a desert landscape with a body of water in the background. A cityscape is visible on the horizon, with a river or lake in front of it. Several trees are on the far side of the water. In the foreground, there are several domed structures and a low wall with decorative tops. The structures appear to be made of stone or brick and have a weathered appearance. The foreground is dry and dusty. The overall atmosphere suggests an old, possibly historical, scene. The image is titled "Asyut, View from the Mountain" by Antonio Beato.
