Description by the artist on the scene she painted:

"The Kutwallee - This building, used as a prision and Court House, was built by Mr. Saunders, Collector of Umritser, and is one of the few English buildings in India which do not look out of place among their native neighbours. It is situated on the borders of the Tank, opposite the Holy Temple, and is constantly haunted by beggars; the applications for baksheesh, or bounty, being indeed most inconveniently, and through their importunity annoyingly, multiplied through all the neighbourhood of the Holy Tank. The deformities exhibited also to stimulate charity are very shocking." –– 'Original Sketches in the Punjaub by a Lady', Dickinson Bros. London, ca. 1854

The Kutwalee from the borders of the Tank

Original Sketches in the Punjaub by a Lady, Dickinson Bros. London, ca. 1854, lithograph, SSB Collection

The artist of this view is anonymous and only identified as 'the wife of an Officer in the Queen's Service now with his regiment in India.' A very important image of the lost palace with the Dharshani Deori gateway on the left. With the end of the Sikh Empire and annexation of Punjab the lost palace (now called Kutwalee) was turned into a prison and Court House. An odd choice of use for such an important building within the presincts of the Darbar Sahib complex.

Closeup of previous image showing palace details.

The steps leading up to the palace have now been removed and a large wall constructed in its place. Given the palaces new use as a court house and prison, free access from the palace to the parkarma below was no longer necessary.
