Description

Ελληνικά: Το Ερέχθειο είναι πίνακας του Τζέιμς Στούαρτ που φιλοξενείται στο Victoria and Albert Museum του Λονδίνου.

Παρουσιάζει το Ερέχθειο από την δυτική όψη της Πολιάδος Αθηνάς και από το Πανδρόσιο. Οι εργάτες που σκάβουν ανακαλύπτουν τη βάση των Καρυάτιδων. Οι Τούρκοι που εικονίζονται είναι ο Διστάρ αγάς που καπνίζει μακρύ τσιμπούκι, και ο γαμπρός του, Ιμπραήμ αγάς. Οι άλλοι Τούρκοι είναι φύλακες που παρακολουθούν τις εργασίες για να μην φυγαδευτούν πολύτιμοι θησαυροί. Την συνοδεία συμπληρώνει η κόρη του Ιμπραήμ αγά, με έναν μαύρο δούλο και ένα αρνί που προορίζεται για σφάξιμο στο έθιμο του μπαϊραμιού.

English: Erechtheum is a painting of James "Athenian" Stuart at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Depicted, workmen excavating to reveal the base of the prostasis underneath the Caryatids, while two other Ottomans are supervising the excavations in order to ensure that any archaeological findings are not carried away. Ottoman official Dizdar Aǧa, also supervising the excavation, is leaning on his son-in-law's shoulder. On the foreground (right) a man, probably James Stuart, drawing the monument.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

The author died in 1788, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
