This painting shows the Western Ghats, an Indian mountain range. Sir Charles Chambers made it around 1823, using paint on canvas. He painted a spot called Chauke with steep cliffs and a rock shaped like the Duke of Wellington’s nose. A frangipani tree in bloom adds color to the scene. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of Chambers’ work.
