About this work

This watercolour shows a ceremonial procession moving across an open dusty plain, with richly caparisoned elephants carrying canopied howdahs and mounted riders in red and white garments. A cloud of smoke rises above distant domed buildings and minarets, and a tree line runs along the left edge.
