1848
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Dayr-El-Medeeneh, Thebes is a 1848 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows four men working in a stone room. One guy is kneeling, chiseling a block. Another stands nearby, holding a tool. The room has broken columns and a half-carved statue head on a pedestal. Light comes from a small window. The floor is messy with tools and scraps. The title at the bottom says it’s from a place called Dayr-El-Medeeneh in Thebes. This was likely a workshop where people carved stone statues. Look up Romanticism next to see how artists like this one showed adventure and history.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
