Along with his wife, Lady Impey, he was a well-known patron of Indian artists. They are known for the studies of flora and fauna they commissioned, but Sir Elijah was also an avid collector of Indian miniature paintings. The present lot is an example of this interest, and its subject may well reflect Impey's desire to form an almost documentary group of portrayals of aspects of Hindu religion in the same manner as the natural history paintings.Dimensions: Sheet size c. 19.5 x 23 cm, Size incl. frame c. 34.5 x 32.5 cmEach mounted and framed behind glass.
