Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing of a tall, ornate minaret. The minaret is in the center and is made of stone. It has a series of balconies and ornate carvings along its length. The top of the minaret is a small dome with a finial. The minaret is attached to a large building on the left side of the image, which appears to be a mosque. The building has a flat roof and a row of windows along its side. In front of the building, there are people sitting and standing around. To the right of the minaret, there is a tree and a low wall. The sky above is clear and light brown. The image has a caption at the bottom.
