This painting shows a group of British military officers and dignitaries. The prince's visit to India was a big deal, and photos like this were taken to remember the occasion. The prince was commander in chief of the Bombay Presidency, so he was important. You can learn more about this style of photography by looking at the work of Raja Deen Dayal.
