Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a crowded marketplace scene set in a Middle Eastern city. The scene is set in a courtyard surrounded by tall buildings on all sides. The buildings are made of stone or brick and have ornate details such as arches, balconies, and intricate carvings. The buildings on the right and left are multistoried. The building on the right has white sheets hanging from its balcony. Many people are standing around in traditional clothing, including long robes and head coverings. Some are sitting on the ground. In the center of the image, there appears to be a market stall with a thatched roof. The stall is surrounded by people. The sky above is cloudy. The overall color palette of the image is sepia-toned. At the bottom of the image, there is a line of small text that reads "BAZAAR OF THE COPPERSMITHS, CAIRO."
