'Julius Middleton Boyd was an officer of the English East India Company
stationed in Western India during the mid 19th century. An album of thirty-six
drawings of landscapes and monuments by him, mainly of locales in Western
and Central India, is currently in the collection of the British Library.
The present scene is possibly set in Baroda, Gujarat. The preliminary drawings
for these watercolours are with the British Library.
