“In Memoriam” was painted by Joseph Noel Paton two years after the mutiny. One can see English women and children huddled in a circle, looking helpless and innocent, seemingly waiting for the inevitable – dishonour, violence and death. “In Memoriam” does not show gory violence; it only suggests it. It stirs up the spectator’s imagination, and seeks to provoke anger and fury. It represents the rebels as violent and brutish, even though they remain invisible in the picture. In the background you can see the British rescue forces arriving as saviours.

Corrections in the incorrect statements:

Statement B- At the centre of the canvas are the British heroes – Campbell, Outram and Havelock is a description of “Relief of Lucknow”, painted by Thomas Jones Barker, 1859 not “In Memoriam” 

Statement D-  “In Memoriam” shows gory violence and bloodshed in a detailed manner is incorrect as “In Memoriam” does not show gory violence; it only suggests it.
