Taj Mahal from the East

John Murray

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a low-angle view of the Taj Mahal against a light sky. Stone ruins are in the left foreground, contrasting with the smooth Taj Mahal in the distance. The color palette is sepia, contributing to a historical feel. The upper half of the image shows the sky with soft tones. An empty riverbed is on the right.
