Queen Victoria was made Empress of India in 1876 and India remained part of the Empire until 1947. During this period India was directly ruled and administered by Britain and troopships such as the one in this painting were used to carry troops to and from the subcontinent.
The painting is signed ‘Beatrix Fisher 1894’.
