Description

Watercolour painting with a pen and ink border of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s tomb in Lahore. The tomb was commenced by Ranjit Singh’s son, Kharak Singh, on the spot where the Maharaja was cremated but was not completed until 1848 during the reign of Dalip Singh. The painting shows the tomb as the central building with a red sandstone tower on the right hand side. The tomb and the buildings surrounding it are white and the tomb has two gilded and fluted domes. The building is decorated with ornamental domed kiosks and stone lanterns with an ornate balustrade on the square roof.
