Cleveland Museum of Art

The Clock Tower in Front of the Bailee Guard Gate by Felice A. Beato. Sepia-toned photograph of ruined buildings. The left side features a large archway with two tall towers on either side; the right side shows a tall thin tower rising from a pile of rubble. The buildings are constructed of stone with intricate carvings. A man stands in the center of the image, wearing a uniform and hat, holding what appears to be a rifle. The foreground is a dirt field with scattered rocks and debris. The sky above is clear and light-colored. The photograph is slightly yellowed and has a textured appearance. The image is rectangular with a thin border around it.
