Egypt and Nubia, Volume III: The Entrance to the Citadel of Cairo

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape scene of an old city with Middle Eastern architecture. A large stone structure with a tall, thin tower stands on the left, and another similar structure is on the right. The structures have flat tops and are made of stone with horizontal lines. A crowd of people in robes and head coverings are gathered in the foreground. Some sit on the ground, while others stand. A few people are on horseback. The sky above is gray and cloudy. The scene appears to be a marketplace or public square. The color palette is muted, with shades of brown, gray, and beige. A beige border surrounds the image. At the bottom, a line of orange text reads "THE ENTRANCE TO THE CITADEL OF CAIRO".
