Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a street scene. The street runs vertically through the center of the image. On the right and left sides of the street are buildings with many windows and balconies. The buildings are tall and have a Middle Eastern architectural style. In the background, a large tower with a pointed top rises above the buildings. The tower is ornately decorated with carvings and other details. At the base of the tower is a large archway. The street is filled with people dressed in long robes and head coverings. Some of the people are standing still, while others are walking. There are also two horses or donkeys in the street. The sky above is light-colored and cloudy. At the bottom of the image, the words "PRINCIPAL MOSQUE AT BOULAC" are printed in small letters.
