Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque) in Agra by Vasily Vereshchagin

As in Central Asia, Vereshchagin shows a steady interest and special attention to remarkable architectural monuments. He lovingly conveys their decorative features, unusual for European forms, an organic connection with the surrounding landscape.

As an artist, he not only displayed a taste for everything decorative and ornamental, but also a special patience and perseverance so that the complex plexus patterns, small, but expressive details of the form were transmitted accurately and even at a distance without approximations. “Fine jewelry work” of Indian masters, whom he admired, demanded from him the most minted painting.
