content: Landscapes study showing rock-cut architecture in the cliff walls of Petra, in present-day Jordan. At left and right, two tall, precipitous cliffs frame the scene. At center, multiple portals and facades--likely tombs--are carved into a lower cliff face. Rock is colored in hues of red, brown, and orange. Above, light, pink clouds hang in a dark blue twilight sky.
