William Simpson painted "A Hill village near Simla in the Himalayas" in 1860. It’s a work on paper showing a village in the Himalayas. He made quick pencil sketches on site, then turned them into colorful watercolors back in London. Simpson was already known for his war art from the Crimean campaign. His India trip came next, and he filled journals with images and notes. Look for more works by Simpson, William.
