William Carpenter painted a man sitting in a small shop with stacks of glass bangles. The bangle-seller wears a long coat and turban, his shop front open to the street. Carpenter made this in Pune around 1850. He focused on daily life and local clothing. His Indian work stands out for these quiet details. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting.
