Indian artists, c. 1820
“A large tree with a Mughal building in the background”. Mansions and monuments. Bhaugulporee and Goolbang Pencil and watercolour. On European paper. Some on mounts with washed borders. 18×23 cm - 50×66 cm (11)
Of noteable interest in this collection is the large unfinished watercolour depicting “A large tree with a Mughal building in the background”. Certainly a picturesque view matching the taste of European patrons and most certainly designed by a European artist. The preparatory drawing is either traced or rubbed onto the paper and then coloured, most likely by a local Indian artist, starting with the typical pale, soft hues of gray and green. A similar technique can be found in several of the drawings and watercolours in the Wolff Collection. They give new insight to an until now, unrecorded aspect of the tradition of Company School Painting. Enclosed with various views of picturesque sites and Palladian style mansions. Two are inscribed respectively At Bhaugulporee /Goolbang Eastfront
