The Fifth Plague of Egypt

Joseph Mallord William Turner and Charles Turner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with pyramids in the distance and a dramatic sky. The perspective is slightly elevated, with a low horizon line. The scene is detailed with fine lines and gradients, depicted in sepia tones. Foliage and livestock are visible in the foreground, while the pyramids are the central focus in the middle ground. The background fades into atmospheric depth with clouds overhead.
