The Italian photographer Beniamino Facchinelli (1839–1895) captured stucco and glass windows in this black and white photograph. Three windows are seen hanging side by side on a wall, and another is captured, only cut off, in the lower left area of the photograph. In the group of three windows, that on the left is rectangular and shows the motif of a vase of flowers. That in the middle is rectangular and shows symmetrically arranged flower and star ornamentation composed of eight-petalled flowers inscribed in eight-pointed stars; four-petal floral motifs are set between the eight-pointed stars. The window on the right-hand side, which is rectangular in shape and tapers upwards into a triangle, features symmetrically arranged floral ornamentation: a six-petalled flower, from which six flower stems emerge, occupies the centre of a sexfoil motif; six-petalled flowers within hexagons are set between the sexfoils. All the windows taken in this photograph were set in a wooden frame.
There is an inscription on the mounting board. The photograph bears the serial number 1091 inscribed in black in the upper right-hand corner (Volait, 2024).

This photograph by Beniamino Facchinelli is one of a series taken in the Museum of Arab Art (Musée d’art arabe), the future Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo (Volait, 2024). A window with a motif similar to that of the central window in the photograph can be found in the Musée du Louvre in Paris (IG_38). A window largely identical to the one shown on the left of the photograph is today held in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (IG_182).
