Description: | Watercolour of a view possibly of the fort at Bhitarwar, Gwalior district, Madhya Pradesh, by an anonymous artist working in the Calcutta style, c. 1818. Inscribed below: 'A view of the Fort of Birttrwas. No. 6.'
This drawing forms part of the Marquess of Hastings collection. He was the Governor-General of Bengal and the Commander-in-Chief from 1813-23. On his many expeditions throughout India he was often accompanied by an artist. Depicted here is a fortress on a hill in the distance with a smaller fort, in a similar architectural style, situated much nearer. A river joins the two forts and hills can be seen in the distance. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Anonymous | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
