Answer 2

Answer:

In the painting ‘The Aurial and Dashwood Families of Calcutta’, painted by Johann Zoffany, you see Thomas Dashwood and Charlotte Lousia Aurial entertaining guests. There are various Indian servants serving tea. The British are seen seated or standing regally in a sprawling lawn. The Indians are shown as submissive and inferior to the British. They are placed in the background. Thus the picture suggests that the British were more powerful than Indians.
