Aerial view of the Gebel Silsileh quarries. The drawing is in portrait format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
In the foreground, on either side of the Nile, are the open-pit and hillside quarries. The quarry faces and benches are clearly visible. A small port, with boats moored alongside, is used to transport the quarried blocks. In the distance, a green plain unfolds.
