Temple Carnac, Egypt

A pencil sketch of an ancient stone temple interior, showing massive cylindrical columns flanking a dark doorway beneath heavy horizontal lintel blocks, while light graphite hatching shades the stonework and a handwritten caption sits in the lower right corner. The yellowed, stained paper shows the wear of age.
