About this work

You see a tall stone courtyard with arches, a fountain in the middle, and people in long robes walking around. This print was made almost 500 years after the mosque was built. The artist never visited Cairo—he worked from someone else’s sketches. The tiny details, like the carved patterns on the walls, show how much care went into copying every line. Look up *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see more prints like this one.
