"View of the Head of the Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khafre, c.1790" is an artwork by French painter, draftsman, and traveler Louis François Cassas (1756–1827), known for his detailed depictions of architectural ruins and exotic landscapes encountered during his extensive travels throughout the Mediterranean. Created around 1790, this piece is part of Cassas's oeuvre that focuses on the monuments of ancient Egypt, a subject that fascinated European audiences in the late 18th century amid the growing interest in Egyptology and the broader phenomenon of Orientalism.

The artwork captures a striking perspective of the Great Sphinx of Giza with the Pyramid of Khafre looming in the background, conveying both the grandeur and the enigmatic quality of these ancient structures. Cassas's work is significant for its historical and cultural value, as it provides a visual record of the Sphinx and the pyramid at a time when they were less accessible to the Western world and before modern restoration efforts altered their appearances.

Cassas's attention to detail and his commitment to archaeological accuracy are evident in the rendering of the weathered features of the Sphinx and the imposing scale of the pyramid. The composition likely reflects the artist's firsthand observations during his travels to Egypt, which were part of a broader expedition to the Levant, and it contributes to the period's documentation of Egyptian antiquities.

"View of the Head of the Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khafre, c.1790" not only showcases Cassas's skill as an artist but also serves as an important visual document in the history of Egyptology and the West's engagement with the ancient world. The piece is emblematic of the late 18th-century European artistic and scholarly endeavors to understand and preserve the heritage of the Mediterranean and the Near East.
