Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white drawing of an ancient stone temple ruin on a beige background. The ruin has a large archway with intricate carvings on the stones. Two columns with ornate capitals are on either side of the archway, one intact and one broken. The column on the right has a floral motif carved into the capital. Three people, two adults and one child, dressed in old-fashioned clothing are sitting and standing near the ruin. The person on the left is sitting on a low wall and the other two are standing. Two large clay pots are on the ground to the right. Trees and other buildings are seen in the distant background. The sky appears hazy. The drawing is surrounded by a beige border with small text at the bottom.
