Egypt and Nubia, Volume III: View on the Nile, Ferry to Gizeh

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing of a river scene. A large body of water, likely a river, occupies the lower half of the image. In the foreground, several people sit and stand on the riverbank. A small wooden boat with two people inside is in the water near the bank. A larger wooden boat with a pointed sail is pulled up on the bank. In the background, a city or town is visible on the left bank of the river. A tall, white tower with a distinctive shape rises above the buildings. Other boats are scattered throughout the river. The sky is cloudy and hazy. A caption at the bottom reads "VIEW ON THE NILE - FERRY TO GIZER".
