Moosulmaun Tomb, Hoorjah is a 1830 by Robert Captain Smith, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a grand, dome-topped building surrounded by trees and a grassy area. Two small figures stand in front of it, looking toward the structure. The lines are precise, and the scene is mostly in shades of gray. The building looks like a tomb, and the artist labeled it "Moosulmaun Tomb, Hoorjah." The drawing was made by someone who traveled and recorded what they saw. If you like this kind of detailed travel drawing, look up cross-hatching next.
