Front view of the Alexandria (Alexandria) lighthouse at night. The drawing is in landscape format. It is framed in ink. Traces of watercolor are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The lighthouse is shown at night. It stands on the Mediterranean, facing the city in the distance. It consists of three levels: a slightly pyramidal square base, an octagonal tower and a circular columned aedicula crowned by a statue. A light emanates from the last level.
