This painting shows "Dumra" in a rising South West monsoon, having just cast off her tugs. In the background we see many sights familiar at the time, some still in place, the massive Gateway of India, the Taj Mahal Hotel, local craft & 2 B.I. "I" class freighters. It even shows the cabin window were Robin sweated out his early voyages & a dead cow in the harbour!

Bombay has reverted to its original name, Mumbai.
