These drawings are lovely examples of the exquisite works produced in India by the "Company School" painters. The term "company painting" refers to a collection of paintings, drawings, and watercolors produced in India during the British Colonial period. The works varied in subject matter from traditional Indian scenes and landscapes to natural history and botanical studies. The company school began to develop during the late 18th century with the influx of British settlers and began to decline towards the mid-19th century with the introduction of photography. It catered to British tastes by introducing the concepts of perspective and realism into traditional Indian painting, and produced many fine works, which served as an invaluable record of Colonial, India.
