The correct answer is (B) Joseph Noel Paton.

“In Memoriam” is a famous painting by the Scottish artist Joseph Noel Paton, created in 1858. It depicts a scene intended to evoke sympathy for the British victims of the 1857 Indian Mutiny, showing British women and children sheltering during a conflict.

The painting was a powerful piece of propaganda in Britain, emphasizing the perceived atrocities committed against the British during the revolt, particularly referencing events like the massacre at Cawnpore. It contributed to public support for retribution against the rebels and reinforced the justification for British rule. Other artists listed, like Thomas Daniell and Charles D’Oyly, were known for their landscape and genre paintings of India from earlier periods.
