Tomb of Salim Christi is a 1900 paint by Unknown, depicting pavilion, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a white marble building with a big dome and smaller domes on top. The walls have arched windows with detailed patterns, and the roof has a slanted, overhanging edge. The ground in front is flat and light-colored, with a small railing and a bit of grass at the sides. The building looks like a pavilion, a kind of open-air shelter often used for shade or ceremonies. The artist used soft colors and careful lines to make it look solid and real. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
