Company painting never developed on a large scale in western Indian. Occasionally a European would employ an Indian artist to carry out private commissions, but this was not commonplace in the western regions. It was not until the mid 19th century that sets of pictures depicting traditionally Indian trades and castes were regularly produced in western India and sold in Bombay, Poona and Belgaum.

Kutch (or Cutch) school developed in the region now known as Gujarat, where Bhuj is one of the main cities.
