Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sepia-toned drawing of an ancient Egyptian temple complex. The complex consists of two main stone structures. The structure on the right is taller and wider, with a large stone wall featuring intricate carvings and a central entrance. The structure on the left has a flat roof and columns along its front. Both structures are made of stone blocks. In the foreground, there are people and animals. The people are gathered near the bottom-left corner. The animals appear to be camels or donkeys. The background shows a desert landscape with mountains in the distance. The sky is cloudy. The image has a caption at the bottom: "TEMPLE OF EDFOU. ANCIENT APPOLINOPOLIS. UPPER EGYPT".
