This watercolor painting by E. Fischer, created around 1920, depicts the Taj Mahal in Agra, India, viewed from across a long reflecting pool lined with trees. The painting captures the iconic monument in a soft, ethereal light, typical of the watercolor medium. The overall palette is subdued, with shades of green, blue, and beige dominating, contributing to the painting's gentle and contemplative mood.
Fisher's work, as a colonial artist, provides a historical perspective on how the Taj Mahal was perceived and represented in the early 19th century
