Four views of Calcutta painted by Martin for Linzee suggest the artist may have been in the employ of John W. Linzee, a Boston-born American supercargo who was lived on Mangoe Lane, just North of the Maidan in Calcutta in the 1850s and 1860s. The views, including the present canvas, are all of similar size, and may have been part of a suite of works painted for Linzee. Of the other three, two are in the Peabody Museum of Salem, Massachusetts, one inscribed 'Painted by C.J. Martin for John W. Lin
C.J. Martin is thought to have been an American artist, whose few surviving works see him active in Rio de Janeiro c.1848-51 and in India in 1852-53.
John William Linzee (1821-1915), Calcutta (according to the inscription on the stretcher).
