Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sepia-toned drawing of an ancient temple. Two large stone pillars stand in the foreground, each with a capital featuring a rounded section supported by striped, curved shapes. The pillars are decorated with intricate carvings and hieroglyphics. A group of people, dressed in robes and head coverings, stand in front of the pillars. The background features a large stone structure with more carvings and hieroglyphics. The drawing appears to be a historical illustration.
