Nile Journey, Tmui of Ptolemy 1890

"Nile Journey, Tmui of Ptolemy" is a pencil drawing on paper by American artist Elihu Vedder, created in 1890. The drawing captures a landscape scene with a prominent rocky hill in the foreground and a body of water in the distance, likely the Nile River. Vedder's loose, gestural lines and shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, reflecting the artist's interest in the dramatic landscapes of Egypt. The drawing is a record of Vedder's travels through Egypt, where he was fascinated by the ancient ruins and the natural beauty of the region.
