Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned image of a mosque on a riverbank. The mosque has two tall, thin towers on either side, each topped with a small dome. A large central dome is flanked by smaller domes. The building appears to be made of stone or brick. In the foreground, a body of water with several boats and people standing on the riverbank. The riverbank is lined with stairs leading up to a large, multi-story building with many windows. Buildings of varying sizes are visible in the background. The sky appears hazy. The image is framed in black with visible wear and tear on the corners.
