Delicately painted on ivory, this miniature painting captures the majestic Jama Masjid of Delhi with remarkable precision—its domes, minarets, and arched gateway rendered in vibrant detail. The perspective, minute detailing, and the inclusion of tiny human figures add to the charm and scale of the painting. Ivory painting, popular among British patrons, thrived in the 19th-century in Delhi—particularly between 1840 and 1880—showcasing intricate craftsmanship on a miniature scale.
