You see two dogs in a yard, surrounded by trees and a house. The dogs seem calm, and the house looks nice. This painting is interesting because it shows what life was like in Calcutta back then, with local artists making pictures for British residents. Check out the work of Shaikh Muhammad Amir to see more examples of "Company" paintings.
