A mosque on the banks of the Buriganga River, Dhaka, Bangladesh is a 18 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a mosque on the banks of a river in this drawing. The mosque is partly ruined, with three domes and three arches visible. It's interesting that this drawing shows a scene from Dhaka, which was an important city in the East India Company's Bengal Presidency at that time. This drawing uses a technique like cross-hatching to create details and textures, similar to what you'd see if you looked up the technique of cross-hatching.
