"Arabs Resting by the Colossi at Memnon, Thebes" is a 19th-century artwork by British artist and explorer Frederick Catherwood, known for his detailed illustrations of the ruins of the Maya civilization. This particular work, however, shifts its geographical focus to Egypt, depicting a tranquil scene at the ancient site of Thebes, specifically at the Colossi of Memnon. These two massive stone statues represent Pharaoh Amenhotep III and have stood for millennia as silent sentinels at the necropolis.

Catherwood's illustration captures a moment of repose, with Arab figures resting in the shade provided by one of the colossal statues. The artwork is characterized by Catherwood's meticulous attention to architectural detail and his ability to convey the grandeur and scale of ancient monuments. His work often served as a visual record of archaeological sites in an era before photography became widespread.

The drawing is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it provides insight into the appearance and condition of the Colossi at the time of Catherwood's visit. It is a testament to the artist's dedication to documenting the ancient world and his skill in rendering its monuments with accuracy and aesthetic appeal.

"Arabs Resting by the Colossi at Memnon, Thebes" is part of Catherwood's broader oeuvre of travel sketches and lithographs that contributed to the 19th-century European understanding of Middle Eastern and Mesoamerican antiquities. His works were influential in the field of Egyptology and the study of ancient civilizations, and they continue to be appreciated for their historical significance and artistic beauty.
