Egypt and Nubia, Volume III: Tomb of the Memlooks, Cairo

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing of a Middle Eastern architectural complex. The complex consists of two large white buildings with domed roofs and minarets. The left building has a large central dome on a square base and a tall, thin minaret. The right building has two domes on either side and two shorter minarets. The buildings have ornate details and small windows. In the foreground, a procession of people in long robes walks towards a platform. The procession appears to be a funeral. The background is a hazy, light-colored sky. The buildings are on a raised area with several smaller structures around. The image shows a group of people gathered in front of the buildings. The overall scene depicts a solemn and traditional atmosphere.
