A PRIVATE ENGLISH COLLECTION OF INDIAN PAINTINGS (LOTS 53-60)The following eight paintings were acquired by a private collector in London from Colnaghi, 14 Old Bond Street, London between 1978 and 1980. They are excellent examples of the main traditions of Indian painting: Mughal, Pahari and Rajput. Christie's is delighted to offer this small yet captivating selection of Indian paintings, which is the illustration of the sharp eye of an inquisitive collector.
