About this work

Louis Haghe painted a sharp, detailed view of a tall mosque tower in Egypt. The white stone stands out against a clear sky. You can see the curved balconies and pointed top clearly. This was done in the 1800s. Artists like Haghe often traveled to Egypt for work. They drew buildings and scenes to sell back home. Check out Louis Haghe’s other work at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
