"The Observatory at Delhi 2" is a notable artwork created by the British artists Thomas Daniell and his nephew William Daniell. This piece is part of their extensive series of works that document their travels through India during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Daniells are renowned for their detailed and picturesque representations of Indian landscapes, architecture, and daily life, which they captured through a combination of sketches, watercolors, and aquatints.

The artwork depicts the Jantar Mantar observatory in Delhi, one of the five astronomical observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in the early 18th century. The observatory is known for its large and distinctive instruments, which were used for measuring time, predicting eclipses, and tracking celestial bodies. The Daniells' depiction of the observatory is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey the grandeur and complexity of the site.

Thomas and William Daniell traveled extensively across India from 1786 to 1794, producing a significant body of work that includes their famous series "Oriental Scenery." Their works were highly influential in shaping Western perceptions of India during the colonial period. The Daniells employed the aquatint technique, which allowed them to create prints with a rich tonal range and fine detail, making their works highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts.

"The Observatory at Delhi 2" is a testament to the Daniells' skill in capturing the essence of India's architectural heritage and their contribution to the visual documentation of the country's historical and cultural landmarks. Their works continue to be celebrated for their artistic merit and historical significance, offering a window into the India of the past through the eyes of two pioneering artists.
