Front view of the Alexandria lighthouse (Alexandria). The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The lighthouse is shown in the light of dusk. It stands on the Mediterranean, facing the city in the distance. It has three levels: a slightly pyramidal square base, an octagonal tower and a circular columned aedicula crowned by a gold statue.
