Taj Mahal from the East

John Murray

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an architectural structure resembling the Taj Mahal in the distance. The view is slightly elevated. The horizon is not clearly visible. Domes and minarets stand out against a dark upper portion. The image is presented in a negative style. Closest are worn brick ruins. A river curves past the ruins. There is a large river separating the ruins from the architecture. The color palette is primarily inverted with dark tones dominating the sky and lighter shades defining the river, ruins, and the Taj Mahal.
