This photograph, created by Maxime Du Camp in 1849-1850, depicts a bas-relief from the Karnak Temple in Egypt. The image shows Pharaoh Thutmose III standing before the goddess Nauth. The relief, carved in granite, is an example of ancient Egyptian art, showcasing the pharaoh's role as a divine ruler. Du Camp's photograph, taken during a time of great interest in Egyptology, captures the intricate details of the relief, including the hieroglyphic inscriptions, making it a valuable record of ancient Egyptian history and culture.
