A horizontally oriented color lithograph in muted tan and gray depicts stone tombs and towering minarets under a pale sky. On the left, a ribbed dome and tiered tower rise above foreground graves. A slender minaret stands in the distant background. A robed funeral procession walks across the sandy ground toward a long, domed building. Capitalized text below reads, "TOMBS OF THE MEMLOOKS, CAIRO, WITH AN ARAB FUNERAL."
