Shifting our focus to India's colonial era, we find Lord Canning prominently featured as Viceroy and Governor General from March 1856 to March 1862. The portrait showcases his dignified presence and leadership qualities during a crucial period in Indian history. Accompanying Lord Canning are Lady Canning and Major Jones in an enchanting group portrait captured at Barnes Court in Simla. Their elegant attire reflects the opulence associated with British rule in India during that time.
