Les cariatides du Ramesseum 134

Abdullah Frères

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sepia-toned photograph of a large stone structure with several people and animals in front of it. The structure is made of large, rectangular stone blocks and features several large stone pillars or statues that are shaped like women. The pillars or statues are standing in a row and appear to be supporting the structure. There are several people in the foreground, some sitting on the ground and others standing. One person is riding a horse, and there are two donkeys. The ground is sandy and barren, with a few rocks scattered about. The sky above is hazy and light-colored. The overall atmosphere suggests a hot, sunny day in a desert or arid region.
