`Temple of Kom-Ombos. "Thebaid" from Stern of Boat "5. knots an hour" "On the Nile" is a 1855 watercolor by George de Sausmarez, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a rocky hill with two old buildings on top. One looks like a temple with columns. The other is a tall, crumbling tower. In the water below, a boat with a big sail and a few people is moving toward the shore. The artist wrote notes on the paper: *"5 knots an hour"* and *"On the Nile."* This means the boat was traveling at a steady speed down the river. Next, look up Sausmarez, George de (General) to see more of his sketches.
