To see and sketch the Taj Mahal at Agra was Yoshida's primary objective on this journey to India. He created this print of the great monument as seen from the outskirts of the city the year after his return to Japan. The buildings and minarets of the white marble tomb built by the Mughal Emperor Shah-Jahan (reigned 162858) for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal stand majestically beyond a dry riverbed where a caravan passes. In the rainy season, the river rises to the edge of the stately buildings.
