Gateway to Agra

A tall scalloped archway with a shadowed, near-black interior dominates the composition, its stone frame rendered in dense cross-hatched shading. Seated at lower left is a bearded man in a turquoise robe and red-orange turban; beside him a figure in a mustard-yellow robe and pale headscarf sits with a round basket, while at right a woman in a rose-red shawl over a blue garment stands holding a child. "Gateway to Agra," Charles W. Bartlett's 1923 woodblock print, uses muted turquoise, mustard, and vermillion against warm beige tones to set these figures against the deep gloom of the doorway.
