Two ancient pyramids stand in a desert landscape under a clear sky. The pyramid on the left is rough and appears unfinished, while the one on the right is stepped and more intact. The foreground shows sand dunes and some scattered rocks, with two figures seated in the sand. Harvard Art Museums/Fogg Museum, Gift of Dr. Daniel Tassel
