Lot Essay


Another painting from this series depicting Purvi Ragini is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (inv. no. 15.52.1962). Another, formerly with the Doris Wiener Gallery and exhibited in the Chicago International Antiques show in 1985, sold at Christie's New York, 20 March 2012, lot 280. Although that painting was attributed to Marwar, the drawing and blocks of colour found in the present painting seem to relate more closely to those used in Sirohi.
