"Der Dichter Aaron Hill und drei weitere Ägypten-Reisende finden in einer Grabkammer zwei Leichname" by Augustin Félix Fortin is a dramatic, sepia-toned drawing from 1790. It depicts a scene of discovery in an Egyptian tomb, with the titular Aaron Hill and his companions encountering two corpses in a dimly lit chamber. The setting is evocative of the popular interest in ancient Egypt during the late 18th century. The work is notable for its detailed depiction of the tomb's architecture and the figures' expressions of shock and fear. The scene highlights the fascination with ancient Egypt and exploration, prevalent in the period.
