View of the Esplanade from near Fort William 1785

View of Esplanade, Calcutta, from near Fort William. In the foreground, three Europeans are fishing in the Hooghly. One looks towards the shipping at anchor, the others are facing the New Court House, which had been completed in 1784. The sky takes up half the canvas and the stillness would suggest evening.
