Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Group of Nubians-Wady Kardasey is a 1847 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a group of men standing together in a desert. They wear simple clothes and some hold sticks or shields. One man kneels in front, looking down. In the background, there’s a pyramid and a few scattered rocks. The artist drew them in a loose, sketchy style. The title says these are Nubians, a group from a region near Egypt. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style fits into art history.
