Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Hermont, Ancient Hermonthis

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape drawing of ruins, with a man sitting on a large cylindrical stone in the foreground. The man wears a white robe and has dark hair. He sits on a large stone cylinder, with another man standing beside him, dressed in a long robe. In the background, several people are visible, some standing and others walking. A large stone structure with columns is seen in the distance. The structure has a flat roof and appears to be partially destroyed. To the left of the structure, there are several small domed buildings. The sky above is cloudy, and the overall atmosphere suggests an ancient or historical setting. The image is rendered in shades of brown and gray, with the title "Ruins of Hermont, Ancient Hermonthis, Upper Egypt" printed at the bottom.
