Jahangir's tomb at Shahdara. Artist(s): Longcroft, Thomas (c. 1760-1811)
- Scope & Content:
-
Jahangir’s tomb at Shahdara, near Lahore, 1795. The view shows the minarets of the tomb rising above the trees.
Pencil and grey wash, laid down on original mount with wide black frame; 354 by 536 mm (drawing), 36 by 56.5 cm (original mount).
Inscribed in a cartouche below: ‘A Mangoe grove with a View of the Tomb of Jehanguire near Lahor 1795 T.L.’
Note: The drawing is valuable evidence of Longcroft’s intrepidity in his travels across northern India. The Punjab in 1795 was still nominally under the control of the Afghans, and Ranjit Singh did not establish himself there until 1799.
