This sketch shows a small temple on a rooftop, with two tall columns and a flat roof. In front of it, a person sits on a low wall, looking toward the structure. The background has distant mountains and a cloudy sky, while the ground is rocky and uneven. The temple’s name, *Isis*, is written at the bottom of the image. This print was made in 1848 by an artist who traveled to Egypt to draw ruins. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this sketch is kept.
