Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image features a landscape drawing of a river with a temple in the background. The riverbank is lined with rocky outcroppings and features several large stone structures. The sky above has clouds. In the foreground, there are several large stone objects on the shore. The water is calm, reflecting the scenery. The drawing is rendered in shades of gray on a beige background. The temple has multiple towers and columns visible. The text at the bottom reads "ISLAND OF PHILAE, LOOKING DOWN THE NILE".
