View across the River Nile towards the Great Pyramids at Giza, in Egypt. In the foreground, women with water jars stoop at the water's edge to fill them, two oxen also drinking to the right. On the opposite bank and along small stretches of land in between, groups of shepherds and figures on camels head towards the village which lies before the pyramids. There is a bright sunset in the distance.
