A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts a grainy, barren landscape. In the upper third, rugged hills rise under a sky of pale beige paper. Centered, a rectangular stone temple in muted browns features a shadowed opening. Splotches of scattered, broken blocks cover the foreground in the lower third. Fine gray lines define the rocky terrain. Printed text identifies the scene as the "TEMPLE OF TAFA IN NUBIA."
