The Observatory at Delhi, aquatint by Thomas Daniell
A hand-coloured aquatint of the open-air observatory at Delhi, showing a massive stone sundial with a steep triangular gnomon and stepped ramp rising beside a curved wall. Small figures stand on the stairs and walls, with ruined structures, rocky ground and a distant town under a pale, cloudy sky.
