Presentation :

Aerial view of the pyramid of Sesostris I at Licht at sunrise. The drawing is in portrait format and has no frame. The lower margin is not outlined. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The pyramid stands in the center of the drawing, under a rising sun and in the middle of a desert. It is enclosed by two enclosures in which satellite pyramids take their place. In the distance, a greener landscape takes shape.
