Begum Samru's Household. Commentary:

This painting was made for Begum Samru, an Indian who employed and entertained large numbers of Westerners, converted to Catholicism, and had two European husbands. She was powerful and wealthy, and also, it is said, ruthless and cruel. The painting, which includes the name of each individual portrayed, incorporates both Indian and European elements.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term.
