In this picture the palace wall and the buildings thereon recede only slightly in perspective, the landscape is more skillfully manipulated particularly in order to make them appear to do so, It is a copy of one now in a private collection ascribed to Ghulam Ali Khan. It is a much more successful version of fig. 24 in its handling of the perspective. Here, the Asad Burj is in good condition unlike in fig. 24. The new palaces built by the Mughal princes are very obvious. Watercolor, 23.5 x 33.5. British Library, London, Add. Or.3119.
