William Carpenter painted this untitled work in 1852. It sits with Impressionism and Realism at the Victoria and Albert Museum. He came from a family of artists. He spent years traveling in India, painting local rulers and landscapes. He even dressed in Indian clothes while he worked. That’s how he got such close looks at daily life there.
