Aerial view of the Great Temple of Sais by night. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Inscriptions and traces of watercolor are visible in the margins.
The temple is set inside a brick enclosure opened by three gates. A sphinx dromos leads to a first pylon flanked by colossal statues. In front of the sanctuary stand two obelisks. Behind it are the temple of Athena and the tomb of Amasis. On the horizon, a landscape unfolds.
