This drawing shows the Kailasanatha Temple at Ellora, carved right into the rock. Major General William Lacy made it in 1830 while stationed in India. He sketched thirteen Ellora caves to capture their huge scale and fine carvings. His work reflects Romanticism’s love for wild grandeur and distant places. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of his drawings.
