About this work

This watercolor shows a desert scene with old stone buildings and two tall towers. Palm trees line the left side, and a few people ride horses or walk near the ruins. The sky is pale, and the ground is dry with scattered rocks. The artist wrote the title at the bottom: *"Tomb of Zobeida wife of Haroon ool Rashid in distance."* The colors are soft, and the buildings look worn but still stand tall.
