About this work

A grey wash drawing in an octagonal frame shows the Colossus of Rhodes, a massive standing figure raising a torch, on a pedestal at the edge of a harbor. A sailing ship rides the water beside it, while a city of buildings, columns and a domed structure rises along the shore below a mountain. The work is attributed to Edward Francis Burney and carries the title The Colossus of Rhodes, with the handwritten note September 10 at lower right.
