Taj Mahal

Charles William Bartlett

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a watercolor painting of the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is centered in the image, a large white building with a large central dome and four smaller domes around it. There are four towers, one on each corner of the building. The building has many archways and is reflected in the water in front of it. In the foreground, there is a body of water reflecting the Taj Mahal. On the right side of the water, a small wooden boat sits on the sandy shore. A person wearing a red garment and white hat sits in the boat. The background shows a blue sky with some clouds. There are trees on the left side of the image. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of blue, green, yellow, and brown. The painting style is simple and serene. The artist's initials "CWB" are in the bottom left corner. The text "TAJ MAHAL. 1916" is also in the bottom left corner.
