Bombay is an oil painting created around 1731 by the English artist George Lambert (c.1700–1765), depicting the British East India Company settlement in India. The work is part of a series of six paintings commissioned by the East India Company to symbolize their global reach, with Lambert responsible for the architectural backgrounds in the Rococo style.
The painting, now held in the British Library (Accession No. F48), was created in collaboration with maritime painter Samuel Scott (c.1702–1772), who added the ships in the foreground. Although neither artist ever visited India, Lambert based the architectural views on published images. The artwork measures 81 x 132 cm and was notably exhibited in Sydney’s National Maritime Museum in 2013 as part of the ‘East of India: Forgotten Trade with Australia’ exhibition
