Artist

Lady Charlotte Canning

Lady Charlotte Canning is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Lady Charlotte Canning painted gentle scenes in watercolor while traveling through India in the 1850s and 1860s. She filled an album with views of places like Simla and Calcutta during her months on the road in 1858, and later roughed out quick sketches that still show wide skies and distant hills. Her brush captured what she saw—no drama, just quiet observation. Flip through her 1860-61 sketches to step into the light and dust of colonial India.
