Lot Essay

According to Dr. Ellen K.Moris, "This grisaille was probably executed in Ahmedabad, India, in November, 1882. A very similiar bullock cart appears in a larger painting datable to then and elements of it serve as a model for a painting of a wedding carriage, with more elaborate trappings added."
This grisaille will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne on Weeks by Dr. Ellen K. Morris, and we are grateful for her assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
