The painting shows a ancient arch in the desert. It's a watercolour of The Triumphal Arch in Palmyra. The artist was inspired by sketches of the ruins and made several drawings on site, which he later used for his watercolours. He was clearly drawn to the ancient architecture. You can see more of Haag's work at the museum, or look up the artist: Haag, Carl (R.W.S).
