Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: The Hypaethral Temple at Philae, called the Bed of Pharaoh

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an ancient stone temple with a row of columns on the front. The temple is situated on the bank of a body of water. There are several boats on the water, and people standing on the shore and in the boats. There are trees and bushes on the right side of the temple and a mountain range in the background. The sky is light blue with some clouds. The temple has a flat roof and appears to be made of stone or marble. The columns are thick and ornate, with decorative capitals. The temple is surrounded by a low wall. The water in front of the temple is calm and reflects the image of the temple and the sky. The overall atmosphere suggests a warm, sunny day. The image is rendered in sepia tones and there is a beige border. There is orange text at the bottom.
