Russian painter Vasily Vereshchagin, known for his depictions of war and its consequences, created this painting in 1875 during his travels to India. The artwork showcases a richly decorated carriage, pulled by a pair of white oxen, providing a glimpse into the opulence and contrasting social realities of colonial India. The intricate details of the carriage, the vibrant colors, and the lifelike portrayal of the figures and animals are characteristic of Vereshchagin's style. This painting offers a fascinating window into the social hierarchy and cultural differences of 19th-century India.
