This drawing shows an ancient Egyptian temple with tall, carved columns and detailed carvings on the walls. The building has a mix of flat roofs and rounded tops, and the carvings look like hieroglyphs. Two small figures stand in front of the temple, making the structure look huge by comparison. The artist drew this from sketches made during a trip to Egypt. The temple is from Edfou, a real place in Egypt. Want to learn more? Check out Romanticism.
