Egypt and Nubia, Volume III: Mosque el Mooristan, Cairo

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a street scene in an old city with buildings on either side and a tall tower in the distance. The buildings are multi-story, with balconies and ornate details. Some have awnings or canopies over the sidewalks. People walk on the street and sit on the sidewalks. A few people ride on donkeys or other animals. The street is made of dirt or sand. In the background, a tall tower with a pointed top rises above the buildings. The sky is gray and overcast. The image is rendered in muted colors, with shades of brown, beige, and gray dominating the scene.
