This is a classic 1838 watercolor by Scottish painter David Roberts, depicting the ruins of the Temple of Isis and Serapis at Maharraka in the Egyptian desert. Remaining colonnades and scattered stone blocks stand on yellow sand, with several palm trees beside. The warm desert sky renders soft light and shadow, presenting a desolate quiet atmosphere full of historical weight, a representative 19th century Orientalist landscape work.
