About the piece
Painted in 1788 by Francis Swain Ward, this oil on canvas captures the elegant architecture of a mausoleum at Outatori near Trichinopoly. The central structure, with its white arches and golden crescent-topped dome, stands in a tranquil landscape bounded by dense foliage and a calm river, reflecting the artist's focus on the monuments of India during the British colonial period.
