Unfinished. Two Egyptian statues (left and center right) done in browns, corals and light yellows, each seated on a block on a pedestal. Line shadows in plum around them. To the right of the right hand statue (which is headless), there is a form which may be a shadow or another statue. An oval, plum "head" on a dark blue and yellow "collar" stands on a tall block. Behind the statues rises a pyramid which extends off top of canvas. It is done in yellow and shadowed in purple. A red area is visible at far right. Between the statues is a flat area (no definable masonry) with purple cross marks across it. The sky (in upper right and left hand corners) is a bright sky blue.Type of Painting
