This lithograph reproduction presents the Temple of Wadi Kardassy in Nubia, a work from the labors of David Roberts. The scene illustrates an unfinished hypethral temple, dedicated to the goddess Anthor, standing on a sandy hill. The composition highlights six columns with composite capitals decorated with lotus motifs and Isis heads, under a cloudy sky.
The original work is part of the monumental series Egypt and Nubia published around 1838. David Roberts, a Scottish painter, documented Ptolemaic remains with rigorous architectural precision. His style combines topographical accuracy with a chromatic study of shadows cast by the desert sun on the limestone.
This ancient illustration is suitable for amateurs of Egyptology and architectural history. It can be integrated into a collection of naturalist plates or used as wall decoration for its documentary character. Observing the engraved details offers a precious testimony on the state of Nubian ruins in the 19th century.
