This watercolor painting shows a vast, open space with rows of ancient stone columns. The columns are covered in intricate carvings and hieroglyphics. In the center of the image, a large column with a decorative top rises high into the sky. The background is a bright blue sky. A few people in robes are scattered around the space, along with a camel. The atmosphere is one of ancient grandeur and beauty. This painting is a great example of Spiers, Richard Phené FRIBA FSA's work.
