Painted by Charles D Oyly, this oil on canvas artwork measures 23.8x31.9 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art in the Paul Mellon Collection. The scene depicted showcases daily life in Patna during that era, with its distinct rooftops and vernacular architecture taking center stage.

As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, our eyes are drawn to the intricate rooftop designs and vibrant awnings that adorn the buildings along the street.
