This painting shows a busy bazaar scene in India during the 1850s. William Carpenter painted it while traveling with his brother. The colors are bright and the brushstrokes are loose. Carpenter wore local clothes and lived like the people he painted. He focused on daily life, not just grand palaces. His work is less famous than his mother’s portrait paintings. Look up Carpenter, William next.
