This reproduction illustrates the grand portico of the temple of Philae in Nubia, a central piece of ancient architecture. The plate highlights massive columns richly decorated with hieroglyphs and human figures. The use of sober colors such as beige, red, and green emphasizes the finesse of the sculptural details.

David Roberts created this chromatic study during his voyage to the Orient around 1838. His representation of the temple of Philae testifies to the peak of Ptolemaic art and the period's encyclopedic interest in vanished civilizations. The balanced composition restores the solemnity of this sacred building dedicated to Isis.

This ancient illustration is aimed at lovers of ancient art and travel accounts. It constitutes a sober and informative decorative element, inviting the study of sacred Egyptian symbols. Its iconographic value makes it an ideal support for a thematic collection on Nubia.
