Normally one would say "This is a painting of the Battle of Waterloo" or "This painting is of the Battle of Waterloo". Paintings are not normally "about" their subjects, at least not in a direct sense. The purpose of the word "from" in (B) and (C) is rather unclear.

- If you mean it was painted at the actual scene of the battle then you need to be more explicit I think.
