Provenance: His Exalted Highness, the Nizam of Hyderabad, Osman Ali Khan (1886-1967), personally gifted to Dr. Mallanah Shrinagesh, Hyderabad, India.

Dr. Mallanah Shrinagesh was the personal physician to H.E.H. Mir Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII, the last Nizam of the Princely State of Hyderabad, the largest state in the British Indian Empire, who reigned from 1911 to 1948. The paintings were a personal gift by the Nizam to Shrinagesh, given during the 1930s as compensation for his work. They decorated the walls of the doctor’s apartment in the court at Hyderabad. His daughter Shakuntala inherited the pieces and brought them with her when she moved with her husband Rudolf Hartog to Germany.
