Aerial view of El Kab. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The city is located on the banks of the Nile, visible in the lower part of the drawing. The urban area and its dwellings are developed within a quadrangular wall. At the center of this space stands a sanctuary, surrounded by an enclosure. A verdant plain lies on the banks of the Nile. A rocky desert landscape unfolds in the distance.
