1846
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume I: Temple of Wady Saboua, Nubia is a 1846 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows two crumbling stone buildings by a river, with flat roofs and worn steps. A few people sit or crouch nearby—one group on a ledge, another near the water’s edge. The sky is light with soft clouds, and distant hills fade into the background. The sketch focuses on how old and quiet these ruins look, almost swallowed by nature. The artist used simple lines to show the texture of the stones and the stillness of the scene. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
