$. As the British established their power in India, several local courts lost their influence and wealth. They could no longer support painters and pay them to paint for the court. As a result, many painters turned to the British, who welcomed them.

$. British officials, who found the world in the colonies different from that back home, wanted images through which they could understand and  remember their life in India, and depict India to the Western world.

$. There were also painters who were not associated with any court.
