Egypt and Nubia: Volume II - No. 14, Karnak is a 1838 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, depicting column, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Louis Haghe shows a tall stone entry to Karnak temple in Egypt. Sunlight cuts across its carvings. A few figures in the shade give a sense of scale. Haghe visited Egypt in the 1830s. He made prints later to share what he saw. The print uses color to show light and shadow clearly. Look up Louis Haghe (British, 1806–1885) to see more of his travel art.
