Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sepia-toned drawing of a river with boats and a distant city. The river fills most of the lower half. Three sailboats are on the left. The closest sailboat has two tall sails and two short ones on the back. The other two sailboats are much smaller and in the distance. On the right side a small wooden boat with one person. On the far side of the river, a city with a large stone building featuring columns. The sky with clouds fills the top portion. The drawing is labeled 'GENERAL VIEW OF THE RUINS OF LUXOR, FROM THE NILE'.
