This sketch shows a half-ruined Roman-style hall inside an Egyptian temple. Two tall columns stand in the middle, with a broken arch above them. People in flowing robes stand around, some looking toward a doorway where a figure floats midair. The walls are cracked and faded, with a few small painted panels at the bottom. The artist captured how old buildings mix Roman and Egyptian styles. The floating figure might be a ghost or a god—it’s hard to tell. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this sketch in person.
