Many of these paintings were created by Indian artist families in areas of British influence such as Tanjore, Trichinopoly, Delhi, Murshidabad, Patna, Calcutta, Benares and Lucknow. Sometimes paintings of local subjects were produced and later peddled at British train stations or sold to European travelers. Individual artists were also commissioned or employed by European officers of the East India company to produce specific works, such as the painting of the Rath Jatra festival procession of 1822, showing a British couple with an Indian nobleman.
