Oil Painting of Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut

This is a large-format landscape painting executed in oil or acrylic on canvas, depicting the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, Egypt. The composition is dominated by the massive limestone cliffs of the Theban Necropolis rendered in a warm palette of ochre, terracotta, and burnt sienna. The architectural structure of the temple is centered in the mid-ground, featuring its distinctive colonnaded terraces and central ramp. The foreground shows a sprawling earthen courtyard with subtle indications of figures or small sculptural elements. The sky is a flat, saturated blue, contrasting sharply with the warm tones of the desert landscape. The brushwork appears broad and somewhat painterly rather than photorealistic, suggesting a mid-to-late 20th-century origins. The artwork is housed in a simple thin wood edge frame. Regarding condition, there is visible surface wear, including some scuffing and small losses to the paint layer, particularly on the right side within the cliff faces and along the bottom edge. No obvious signature is visible in this view, though it may be obscured by the frame or located on the reverse. The style is representational with a focus on capturing the scale and geological majesty of the location.
