"Sphinx at Giza 2" is a 19th-century watercolor painting by the German-born British artist Carl Haag (1820–1915). Known for his detailed and vivid works, Haag was a prominent Orientalist painter, and his travels to the Middle East greatly influenced his artistic output. This particular painting depicts the Great Sphinx of Giza, an iconic limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human, which stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Egypt.

The artwork captures the Sphinx in a state of partial excavation, reflecting the condition of the monument during the 19th century when sand still covered much of the structure. Haag's portrayal is notable for its attention to the textures and colors of the surrounding landscape, as well as the interplay of light and shadow, which imbues the scene with a sense of timelessness and mystery. The painting is a testament to the Western fascination with Egyptology during the Victorian era, a period marked by a surge in archaeological interest and exploration in Egypt.

"Sphinx at Giza 2" is part of Haag's broader body of work that documents his travels and encounters in the Middle East. His paintings are characterized by their meticulous detail and the artist's commitment to capturing the essence of the sites he visited. Haag's works are held in various collections and have been exhibited in numerous galleries, contributing to the visual record of historical sites as they appeared in the 19th century.

As a historical artifact, the painting not only serves as an artistic representation of the Great Sphinx but also provides insight into the state of the monument at a specific point in time, offering valuable information to both art historians and Egyptologists. The work is an example of the intersection of art, history, and archaeology, illustrating the role of visual arts in documenting and preserving cultural heritage.
