William Carpenter painted *View of the wood bazaar, Simla* in late 1853. A trained Royal Academy artist, he worked in India from 1850 to 1856. His street scenes show everyday life with lively crowds and sharp light. He traveled widely—Bombay, Rajasthan, Delhi, Kashmir, Lahore and beyond. His watercolors glow with warm colors and capture people and places with care. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
