The Sphinx

John Beasley Greene

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a large stone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human. The statue is sitting on a flat, sandy area. The head is facing to the right. The statue's face has a long nose and a subtle smile. The body of the statue appears to be carved out of a rocky outcrop. In the background, there are two pyramid-shaped structures. The sky above is clear and light-colored. The image is rendered in shades of brown and gray.
