"Sphinx at Giza" is a notable 19th-century watercolor painting by the German Orientalist artist Carl Haag (1820–1915). The artwork captures the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt, a monumental limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human, which is believed to represent the Pharaoh Khafre and dates back to the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Haag's painting is a testament to the fascination with Egyptology and the Middle East that was prevalent among European artists and audiences during the 19th century.

In "Sphinx at Giza," Haag meticulously depicts the weathered features of the Sphinx, set against the backdrop of the Giza plateau with its surrounding desert landscape. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of light and shadow, which imbue the scene with a sense of timelessness and mystery. Haag's work reflects the Romantic period's interest in the exotic and the ancient, as well as the era's scholarly and artistic engagement with the rediscovery of ancient civilizations.

Carl Haag was known for his travels to the Middle East, where he sketched and painted various scenes that captured the region's culture, architecture, and landscapes. His works were widely appreciated for their ethnographic accuracy and artistic merit. "Sphinx at Giza" is considered an important piece within Haag's oeuvre, as it exemplifies his skill in watercolor and his contribution to Orientalist art, a genre that often romanticized Eastern societies and contributed to the West's understanding of these regions during the period.

The painting not only serves as a visual record of the Sphinx as it appeared in the 19th century but also contributes to the broader narrative of Western artists' engagement with the East. It holds significance for art historians and cultural scholars interested in the intersections of art, archaeology, and imperialism. "Sphinx at Giza" is a work that continues to captivate viewers with its portrayal of one of the world's most enduring monuments, offering insight into both the subject it represents and the historical context of its creation.
