William Carpenter painted a bullock cart scene in July 1850. He trained in England but spent years in India after arriving in Bombay. His work mixes European styles with what he saw on his travels. Carpenter wore Indian dress and painted local rulers. He traveled from Sri Lanka to Kashmir, then moved to Rajasthan. His Indian pictures show a mix of styles. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this work.
