This drawing shows broken stone blocks scattered in the desert. Some pieces have carvings of heads and columns, while others look like flat slabs. The sand is light, and the ruins are in shades of gray and beige. These ruins come from an old temple in Egypt. The artist drew them exactly as they were found—no fancy details, just the raw stones.
