This painting shows the Diwan-i Khas, a fancy marble hall in Delhi. Two tall pillars hold up an arched ceiling. People sit on the floor in soft light. It was made for the Mughal emperor’s private meetings. The artist left no name, but the details feel real. Notice the careful patterns on the walls and floor. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more art like this.
