Woodville's work is characterized by its attention to historical detail and its ability to convey the intensity and emotion of battle. In this painting, he depicts the moment when Havelock's exhausted and battle-weary troops break through to the besieged garrison, a scene that would have resonated with contemporary audiences familiar with the stories of heroism and sacrifice associated with the Indian Rebellion.

The painting serves as both a historical document and a piece of Victorian military art, reflecting the attitudes and interests of the time. It is an example of how art was used to shape public perceptions of military events and to celebrate the actions of the British Empire's military figures. As with many of Woodville's works, "The Relief of Lucknow by General Sir Henry Havelock" would have been reproduced in various formats, including engravings and prints, making it accessible to a wide audience and ensuring its place in the visual culture of the era.
