Painted on Gordon Cumming's return from India in 1869. The artist was widely travelled, visiting India in 1868-9, Ceylon 1873-4 and the Pacific in 1875, and used her watercolours to illustrate the narratives which invariably followed her trips. After the Pacific her travels took her to North America and the Far East. She devoted her later years to teaching a numerical version of Braille to illiterate chinese in the Mandarin speaking districts of China.
