"Dwarsdoorsnede van een piramide" (Cross-section of a Pyramid), created by Reinier Vinkeles between 1803-1805, provides a detailed technical drawing of a pyramid's internal structure. The image highlights the interior layout with labeled sections, including the entrance, passageways, and chambers. This engraving showcases the intricate engineering of ancient Egyptian architecture, reflecting the 19th-century fascination with historical and archaeological discoveries. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable document for studying ancient Egyptian pyramid construction.
