Egypt and Nubia, Volume III: Tombs of the Khalifs, Cairo

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a large building with a striped facade, featuring alternating horizontal stripes of orange and white. A tall, ornate tower stands to the right, topped with a decorative finial. The building has a large dome on the left side and an arched entranceway. The foreground shows a courtyard with people sitting and standing around, some on horseback or with animals. The sky above is overcast. At the bottom, the words "Tombs of the Khalifs, Cairo" are printed in small letters. The overall scene appears to be an old illustration of a mosque or other Islamic architectural structure.
