The view the Mughal court would have known, looking out from inside Agra Fort. A white marble balcony pavilion with a fluted dome stands in the left foreground, framed by deep brick-red sandstone and a massive curved rampart bastion on the right. Beyond the fort wall the Yamuna runs pale and flat, and the ivory Taj Mahal sits small and hazy on the far bank, its dome and minarets dissolving into a warm cream sky. Sandhya Kaushik loads the red sandstone in thick palette-knife slabs of brick and oxblood, then keeps the distant marble and river thin and atmospheric.

The contrast of close red stone and far white marble gives the piece real depth. It holds a study, a living-room wall, or a gallery grouping where a single deep view is wanted.
