Description

This picture was sent to London in June 1907 to Major William Broadford R.E to be photographed for the Punjab Government Records.
It was also sent to New York in Feb 2012 to the Asia Society Exhibition ‘Princes and Painters in Mughal Delhi 1707-1857’. Where it hung next to two Raeburn portraits of William lent by the Metropolitan Museum of New York.
The portrait can’t have been painted by Kenneth Macleay RSA as stated. His dates are 1802-78. By 1802, William was already in India and never returned. It is more likely to be by Robert Home (although not recorded in his sitters’ book in the National Portrait Gallery).
