1847
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume I: Nubian Women at Kortie, on the Nile is a 1847 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a group of people near water. Some women carry big pots on their heads. Others stand or sit, dressed in simple clothes. A boy leans against a stone block. The background looks like a desert with hills far off. The artist drew this to show daily life in Nubia, a place near Egypt. The title at the bottom says *Nubian Women at Kortie*. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style told stories about faraway places.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
