"A Gentleman Dressing attended by his Head Bearer and other Servants" is an artwork by Charles D'Oyly, a British amateur artist, civil servant, and prominent figure in the Anglo-Indian community during the early 19th century. Born in India in 1781 and educated in England, D'Oyly returned to India in 1797 and embarked on a career with the East India Company. He is best known for his depictions of Indian life, landscapes, and culture, which provide a valuable visual record of the period.

This particular work is a fine example of D'Oyly's attention to detail and his ability to capture the nuances of colonial life in India. It portrays a European gentleman, presumably a British colonial official, being attended to by his Indian servants as he dresses. The head bearer, a personal servant of high rank within the household, is shown assisting the gentleman, while other servants attend to various duties related to the gentleman's attire and comfort.

The scene is set within the domestic interior of a colonial residence, reflecting the social hierarchy and the relationship between British officials and their Indian staff during the British Raj. D'Oyly's work often reflects the colonial perspective of the time, but it also provides insight into the daily life and interactions between the British and the local population.

The artwork is executed in D'Oyly's characteristic style, which combines elements of both Western and Eastern artistic traditions, and is noted for its fine detail and rich color palette. "A Gentleman Dressing attended by his Head Bearer and other Servants" not only serves as an important historical document but also as a testament to D'Oyly's artistic skill and his unique position as an observer of colonial India.

As an artist, D'Oyly was prolific, and his works were widely circulated in his time through lithographs and engravings, contributing to the European understanding of Indian society and culture. This particular piece remains an important work within D'Oyly's oeuvre, offering a glimpse into the intimate yet formalized world of colonial domesticity and the complexities of cross-cultural encounters in the British Empire.
