This painting shows the Taj Mahal from across the Jumna river. The building is white with a large dome and four smaller domes on the corners. There are several boats on the river in front of the building. The painting is done in a detailed style, with many small details visible on the building and the surrounding landscape. The sky above the building is light-colored, and there are some trees visible behind the building. The painting is a good example of Romanticism, an art movement that focused on emotion and nature.
