Temple at Thebes, Egypt, pencil drawing

A pencil drawing on pale paper shows massive blocky stone architecture seen from below, with a flat-topped block at upper right and hatched shading on sloping roofs and walls at left. Loose, sketchy lines and a faint handwritten inscription in the lower right suggest an on-site study.
