Paper painting. Painted in South India (probably Thanjavur or Tiruchchirapalli)

Acquisition date 2007

Acquisition name Funded by Brooke Sewell Permanent Fund (biographical details | all objects) Purchased from Edward Moodie (biographical details | all objects)

Acquisition notes Formerly in the possession of Edward Moodie's maternal great-uncle, Rupert Richardson-Gardner, who worked in India in the 1930s. However, given the presence of auction room stickers on several of the paintings (one provides the date of the sale – June 15th 1977), it is more likely that the portfolio was acquired by him during his post-war career in Christie’s (he was a specialist in carpets and rugs, but, given his previous career in India, he probably maintained an interest in things Indian which he saw passing through the sale-rooms).
