Coloring: Original lithographic colors. (Also available with added hand coloring at an additional charge.)

Comments: One of the "top ten" of all Roberts lithographs, and considered by many to be one of the most beautiful and artistic. This impression has a very faint crease in the sky, just above the temple roof. It is in the center of the detail above, but is very difficult to see both in the photo and in person.
