Egypt and Nubia, Volume I: Grand Portico of the Temple of Philae, Nubia is a 1847 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a grand temple entrance with tall, carved columns. The columns have hieroglyphs and lotus-shaped tops. A few people stand or sit in front, while broken stone blocks lie scattered on the ground. The temple looks old and weathered, with some parts crumbling. The artist added details like shadows and textures to make the stone look real. If you like this style, look up *Romanticism* next.
