This sketch shows the inside of a dark cave carved with big stone pillars. The walls have carvings of Hindu gods, but the light barely reaches them. Thomas Daniell made this drawing to plan a print. He used simple lines and dots to show shadows and shapes. It’s not flashy, but it’s honest. Look up Daniell, Thomas to see how his careful drawings helped sell India to Britain.
