The Great Temple of Abu Simbel, a large stone structure with four seated statues of pharaohs carved into the mountain, with two smaller standing figures on either side of the central pair. The statues have their hands on their knees. The temple is carved into the side of a mountain. The mountain is tan-colored with some darker shading to indicate depth. The sky above is blue with some white clouds. A person stands on the ground in front of the temple, wearing a white head covering and a long blue robe. The walls of the temple have intricate carvings. The painting style appears to be watercolor.
