專家說明

For two other folios from the Wellington Album, see S. Markel and T.B. Gude, India's Fabled City: The Art of Courtly Lucknow, Los Angeles, 2011, cat.158-159, p.38 and p.259. Two others were published in Oliver Forge & Brendan Lynch, Miniature Painting from the Indian and Islamic World, 2010, cat.22 and 23, pp.38-39. These pages were from an album acquired in India between 1796-1805 by Arthur Wellesley, first Duke of Wellington (1789-1852). He arrived in India in 1796, fought against Tipu Sultan in 1799 and the Marathas between 1802-1804. Fourteen of these pages sold at Sotheby’s, London, 10-11 October 1991.
