Description

This is one of a group of watercolours and drawings produced by Robert Elwes recording scenes witnessed on his world tour (1848-1850). These form the basis of printed illustrations for his travelogue 'A Sketcher's Tour Round the World', published 1854.
Another picture by the same artist with almost identical composition is inscribed ‘Point de Galle, Ceylon’ [1850]. The subject of both pictures is therefore in doubt.
