British drawings in the India Office Library, Mildred Archer, London 1969, vol. 1, p. 49. In her introduction, Archer includes Moffat among a group of professional artists who had "come to India, succumbed to its spell and, after abandoning their homelands, lived and died there". Moffat is known to have published prints in Calcutta, and the lettering on this image "drawn and engraved by I. Moffat, Calcutta" suggests that this image may be one of these prints
