Lot Essay

This picture was probably painted from a tracing of the original made for William Fraser, Delhi, early 19th Century, thus in reverse. See M. Archer and T. Falk, India Revealed, London 1989,p. 104. For another version in reverse of the original see Welch et al The Emperor's Album, 1987, p.28.
