Aerial view of Naucratis. 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 canopic branch of the Nile. Two districts stand out: an Egyptian quarter in the upper part of the drawing, a Greek quarter in the lower part. Each quarter features Egyptian or Greek temples.
