William Simpson painted "View of the Kaiser Bagh in Lucknow" in 1864. This watercolor shows a famous spot in India with bright colors and careful detail. Simpson was already known for his war art from the Crimean War. The British East India Company paid him to sketch sites tied to the 1857 revolt in India. His sketches became watercolors back in London. Check out more by Simpson, William.
